Dr. Sheth is featured in this article about new technology in deep brain stimulation.
This article featuring Dr. Sheth describes advances in epilepsy treatment options.
Baylor College of Medicine and Baylor St. Lukes Medical Center are pioneering new therapies for a range of neurological conditions. Read about Dr. Sheth's work advancing deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy here.
This lab focuses on the study of human decision-making and cognition, as well as on the development of novel therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders. To accomplish these goals, we take a two-fold approach.
