Answer:

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Depression, Uncoordinated body movements such as in Parkinson's disease

Explanation:

Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure in which a device that sends electrical impulses to the brain by means of lead wires connected to electrodes placed in the specific areas of the brain, is implanted in the body, typically the chest region.

This surgical procedure is usually required to treat diseases in which there is irregular and improper nervous stimulation of the brain resulting in various nervous disorders such as irregular muscle movements as in Parkinson's disease as well as depression.

The impulses sent from the stimulator device to the electrodes in the brain through the wires, serves to stabilize and normalize nerve signals sent to the brain.

Why must there be more producers than consumers within an ecosystem ?
Papessa [141]
<em>Because for example one large eagle needs lots of small sparrows to eat. There is usually a food pyramid so for example you could display it along the lines of 1,000 worms are eaten by 20 sparrows which are eaten by 1 eagle. Its just the way things are. It is a fine balance. if you went up to two eagles on same land they would run out of food quickly and then would either starve or have to move on and using up all the food doesnt help them so it needs to be in a fine balance. A balanced ecosystem.</em>
