1 ETHICAL ISSUES IN NON INVASIVE AND SURGICAL BRAIN STIMULATION Vittorio A. Sironi Professor of History of Medicine and Health Director of Research Center on the History of Biomedical Thougth University of Milano Bicocca Milan, November 22, 2016

2 ETHICAL ISSUES IN BRAIN STIMULATION 1. Basic aspects in cerebral neuromodulation 2. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) 3. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) 4. Conclusion

3 BASIC ASPECTS IN CEREBRAL NEUROMODULATION

4 HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF CEREBRAL STIMULATION NON-INVASIVE BRAIN STIMULATION Brain electrical stimulation of the ancient Electroshock Transcranial brain stimulation SURGICAL BRAIN NEUROMODULATION Stereotactic lesional neurosurgery Cortical brain stimulation Deep brain stimulation

5 NON-INVASIVE BRAIN STIMULATION

6 BRAIN ELECTRIC STIMULATION OF THE ANCIENT

7 ELECTROSHOCK OF UGO CERLETTI (1938)

8 MAGNETIC TRANSCRANIC STIMULATION

9 SURGICAL BRAIN NEUROSTIMULATION

10 STEREOTACTIC LESIONAL NEUROSURGERY (1950) (irreversible)

21 CORTICAL BRAIN STIMULATION

22 DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION (reversible)

23 HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF CEREBRAL NEUROMODULATION BRAIN MANIPULATION grossly modify brain structures that are reshaped TO BRAIN NEUROMODULATION fine-tune the brain structures which are harmonized

24 NEUROBIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CEREBRAL NEUROMODULATION Modification of cortical excitability Influence on anatomical brain structures and functional cerebral network Changes in the neurochemistry and in the balance of the neuromediators

25 NON-INVASIVE BRAIN STIMULATION

26 NIBS TENS (tdcs, tms) USE HEALTHY SUBJECTS FOR NEUROENHANCEMENT enhancement of human performances and increase of some skills of the individual (Children and Adults) PATIENT WITH PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THERAPY for ex.: depression, pain, stroke, etc..

27 ETHICAL CRITERIA AUTONOMY (respect individual freedom) BENEFICIENCE (do well) NON-MALEFIENCE (do no ham) JUSTICE (treat like case alike)

28 ETHICAL ISSUES technical aspects (simple and easy use) - machine can be used at any time - unlike pharmaceutical (internal use), machine is not ingested into the body (external use) non pertynent and inadeguate use patient selection healty people or pathological patients only? children or adults only? list of diseases to be treated conscious and autonomous acceptance adeguate use

29 ETHICAL ISSUES Treatment - unrealistic aspectations - changes in personal identity - changes in moral choices unespected psychological and behavioral modifications

30 DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION

31 DBS EVOLUTION USE PATIENT WITH PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THERAPY Parkinson s disease dyskinesias psychiatric disorders (depression, OCD, etc) Tourette syndrome headache pain eating disorders states of altered consciousness? HEALTHY SUBJECTS FOR NEUROENHANCEMENT?

35 CONCLUSIONS

36 ETHICAL ISSUES IN NEUROMODULATION RESPECT FOR PERSONAL IDENTITY ATTENTION TO PERSONAL AUTONOMY PROPORTION BETWEEN BENEFITS AND RISKS (do no harm, do well) USE ALWAYS ETHICS GUIDELINES IN THERAPY AND RESEARCH
