The study aims to present the less widely known pioneering work of Prof. Natalyia Petrovna Bechtereva from the Leningrad Institute of Experimental Medicine utilising electrical stimulation of defined deep brain structures (thalamic nuclei, basal ganglia) by means of long - term externalised intracerebral electrodes for the treatment of some neurological diseases (Parkinson's disease, phantom limb pain, dystonia). Together with the surprisingly long lasting good results some data suggesting the potential abuse of brain stimulation techniques must be noted.

Keywords: deep brain stimulation, stereotactic neurosurgery, lesional surgeries, history.
