Claim Text:
1. A system for medical stimulation, the system comprising: an implantable probe bifurcated into a primary branch and a secondary branch at a bifurcation, the probe including at least one electrode proximate a distal end of the probe for delivering electrical stimulation to brain tissue and an electrical wire for electrically connecting the at least one electrode to a device for generating the electrical stimulation, wherein the primary branch is configured for temporarily mechanically co-operating with a guide wire configured for guiding the probe into said brain tissue, the guide wire configured to fit into the probe and temporarily provide mechanical stiffness to the probe, wherein the primary branch is provided at its proximal end with an aperture for receiving the guide wire in a canal configured for accommodating the guide wire, wherein the secondary branch is configured for electrically connecting said at least one electrode to the device for generating the electrical stimulation, and wherein the electrical wire extends through the secondary branch and spirals around the canal for electrically connecting the at least one electrode to the device.
