One of the more interesting aspects of this discovery to me is the possibility of focal stimulation becoming a more plausible therapy for some neurological diseases. Such therapies would ideally have fewer and less serious side effects then the current methods of electroconvulsive therapy and drug therapies that target the entire brain.
