Abstract
A system for stimulation of a nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) of a patient includes an implantable electrical stimulation lead including electrodes and configured for implantation of at least one of the electrodes adjacent to or within the NBM of the patient; and an implantable pulse generator coupleable to the implantable electrical stimulation lead and configured for delivering electrical stimulation to the NBM through at least one of the electrodes of the implantable electrical stimulation lead, the implantable pulse generator including at least one processor configured to, upon user request, during an initial stimulation period, which is at least 1 month in duration and has a start and an end, increase over time at least one of a duration or an amplitude of the electrical stimulation from an initial value at the start of the initial stimulation period to a final value at the end of the initial stimulation period.
