Hardware Sophistications in Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease; Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze? [PDF]

Mov Disord Clin Pract
Abstract Background New sophisticated deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems enabling steering of current and aiming at improving further motor outcome and decreasing side effects have virtually replaced old omnidirectional systems, despite being more labor‐intensive and expensive.

Are there three subdivisions in the primate subthalamic nucleus?

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2012
The prevailing academic opinion holds that the subthalamic nucleus (STN) consists of three parts, each anatomically distinct and selectively associated with cognitive, emotional, or motor functioning.

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 ...

Sex modulates the outcome of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
There are many documented sex differences in the clinical course, symptom expression profile, and treatment response of Parkinson’s disease, creating additional challenges for patient management.

Effects of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease: a retrospective cohort study

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021
Deep brain stimulation of the bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a therapeutic option for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in whom medical therapies have been ineffective.

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.

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.

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.

Impact of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus on natural language in patients with Parkinson's disease.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundIn addition to the typical motor symptoms, a majority of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease experience language impairments. Deep Brain Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus robustly reduces motor dysfunction, but its impact on ...
