Pallidal Stimulation Modulates Pedunculopontine Nuclei in Parkinson’s Disease
Brain Sciences, 2018 Background: In advanced Parkinson’s disease, the pedunculopontine nucleus region is thought to be abnormally inhibited by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ergic inputs from the over-active globus pallidus internus.
