Antero-Lateral Subthalamic Nucleus Theta Stimulation Improves Verbal Fluency in Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yesMov Disord
Abstract Objective Low‐frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been associated with positive effects on verbal fluency (VF) in patients with Parkinson's disease. This prospective study investigates stimulation direction‐dependent and site‐specific effects of theta frequency DBS on VF. Methods In a double‐blind, cross‐
