Systems for locating an optimal site within a brain of a patient for deep
brain stimulation include a main cannula having an internal lumen, a
guiding cannula having a bent distal end portion configured to pass
through the lumen of the main cannula and guide a microelectrode into the
brain, a depth adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an insertion
depth of the guiding cannula, and a longitudinal angle adjustment device
configured to adjust a longitudinal angle of the guiding cannula. The
depth adjustment mechanism and longitudinal angle adjustment device
adjust a position of the guiding cannula such that the microelectrode
locates the optimal site for the deep brain stimulation.
