Abstract
A method of treating a neurological disorder comprises introducing an electrical stimulation lead within a patient'"'"'s head, locating the stimulation lead within the 4th ventricle of the patient'"'"'s head, and placing the stimulation lead adjacent the fastigium nucleus of the patient'"'"'s brain. The method may further comprise stimulating the fastigium nucleus with the stimulation lead to treat the neurological disorder, for example, by increasing the flow of blood within the patient'"'"'s brain.
