1. A deployable probe configured for stimulating deep brain tissue, comprising:

  • a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a hollow section;

    at least one opening on the distal end of said shaft, said opening configured to connect the hollow section to adjacent brain tissue; and

    a plurality of extendable tendrils, each with a proximal end and a distal end, each said tendril configured to selectively move from a first position contained within the hollow section to a second position adjacent said brain tissue, said tendril configured to deliver treatment to the brain tissue; and

    a deployer linked to said tendrils, said deployer configured to independently move the tendrils from said first position to said second position.
