Functional Connectivity and Volumetrics Improve Outcome Prediction for Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) can effectively treat motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, optimal patient selection remains challenging due to the inadequacy of outcome predictors.

Comparative Study of Focused Ultrasound Unilateral Thalamotomy and Subthalamotomy for Medication‐Refractory Parkinson's Disease Tremor

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Unilateral focused ultrasound ventral intermediate thalamotomy (Vim‐FUS) is effective in treating Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor. Ultrasound ablation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN‐FUS) has demonstrated efficacy in improving all cardinal motor features of PD, including tremor.

Oscillatory Coupling Between Thalamus, Cerebellum, and Motor Cortex in Essential Tremor

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Essential tremor is hypothesized to emerge from synchronized oscillatory activity within the cerebello‐thalamo‐cortical circuit. However, this hypothesis has not yet been tested using local field potentials directly recorded from the thalamus alongside signals from both the cortex and cerebellum, leaving a gap in the understanding ...
