    via Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) announced on Friday that it's Infinity Deep Brain Stimulation (DPS) system had received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to target specific areas of the brain associated with motor functions. More specifically, the expanded indication permits Abbott's DPS system to target the internal globus pallidus (GPi), a specific part of the brain that regulates voluntary movement.
