A pathway planning apparatus includes a processor configured to plan a pathway for implanting an electrode lead into a brain of a patient, wherein the planned pathway satisfies the following condition: if the electrode lead is implanted into the brain of the patient according to the pathway, the electrode lead is capable of simultaneously making contact with an anterior limb of an internal capsule and a nucleus accumbens in one hemisphere of a brain of the patient. The pathway planned by the pathway planning apparatus enables the electrode lead to simultaneously deliver the electrical stimulation to the anterior limb of the internal capsule and the nucleus accumbens such that a combined electrical stimulation therapy is achieved, which has a better effect of treating diseases such as addictive behaviors, depressive disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
A pathway planning apparatus, comprising a processor configured to plan a pathway to obtain a planned pathway for implanting an electrode lead into a predetermined area of a brain of a patient such that after the electrode lead is implanted into the predetermined area of the brain of the patient according to the planned pathway, the electrode lead is capable of making contact with both an anterior limb of an internal capsule and a nucleus accumbens in one hemisphere of the brain of the patient to deliver an electrical stimulation to the anterior limb of the internal capsule and the nucleus accumbens.
