Subthalamic Nucleus: Neuroanatomical Review [PDF]

Brazilian Neurosurgery, 2017
Discovered in 1865 by Jules Bernard Luys, the subthalamic nucleus is a set of small nuclei located in the diencephalon, inferior to the thalamus and superior to the substantia nigra, that can be visualized in a posterior coronal section.

The subthalamic nucleus : Part I: Development, cytology, topography and connections [PDF]

, 2008
This monograph on the subthalamic nucleus accentuates in Part I the gap between experimental animal and human information concerning subthalamic development, cytology, topography and connections. The light and electron microscopical cytology concerns the

Architecture of the subthalamic nucleus

Communications Biology
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a major neuromodulation target for the alleviation of neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms using deep brain stimulation (DBS). STN-DBS is today applied as treatment in Parkinson´s disease, dystonia, essential tremor,

Dexmedetomidine depresses neuronal activity in the subthalamic nucleus during deep brain stimulation electrode implantation surgery

BJA Open, 2022
Background: Micro-electrode recordings are often necessary during electrode implantation for deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. Dexmedetomidine may be a useful sedative for these procedures, but there is limited information regarding its ...

Deep brain stimulation electrode position impact on parkinsonian non-motor symptoms

Biomedical Papers, 2022
Background. In this study we evaluated the impact of location of deep brain stimulation electrode active contact in different parts of the subthalamic nucleus on improvement of non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods.

Subthalamic Nucleus Degeneration As A Dark Cause of Parkinson’s Disease Due to Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Preliminary Experimental Study

Journal of Contemporary Medicine, 2023
Background: Although the subtahalamic nucleus degeneration has been accused of Parkinson’s disease, the obscure roles of subtalamic nucleus degeneration induced by subarachnoid hemorrhages has not been adequately studied.

Dysconnectivity of the parafascicular nucleus in Parkinson's disease: A dynamic causal modeling analysis

Neurobiology of Disease, 2023
Background: Recent animal model studies have suggested that the parafascicular nucleus has the potential to be an effective deep brain stimulation target for Parkinson's disease.
