The invention relates to a device for suppressing a pathologically synchronous and oscillatory neuron activity, comprising: a stimulation unit, which can be implanted in the body of a patient, for stimulation, by way of electrical and/or optical stimuli, of neurons in the brain and/or spinal cord of the patient, said neurons exhibiting pathological synchronous and oscillatory neuron activity and said stimuli being intended to suppress the pathological synchronous and oscillatory neuron activity when administered to the patient; a measuring unit for recording measurement signals reflecting the neuron activity of the stimulated neurons; and a control and analysis unit for controlling the stimulation unit and for analyzing the measurement signals. Said control and analysis unit is configured in such a way that it controls the stimulation unit such that the stimulation unit administers stimuli, checks the success of stimulation on the basis of the measurement signals recorded in response to the application of the stimuli, and, if the stimulation success is not sufficient, inserts one or more stimulation breaks in the application of the stimuli or extends one or more stimulation breaks, no stimuli which could suppress the pathological synchronous and oscillatory neuron activity being applied during the stimulation breaks.
