Architecture of the subthalamic nucleus [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications 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,

Five-year follow-up of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in advanced Parkinson's disease. [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2003
BACKGROUND Although the short-term benefits of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease have been well documented, the long-term outcomes of the procedure are unknown.

Subthalamic Nucleus: Neuroanatomical Review [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian 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.

Pain in Parkinson's disease and the role of the subthalamic nucleus.

open access: yesBrain, 2021
Pain is a frequent and poorly treated symptom of Parkinson's disease, mainly due to scarce knowledge of its basic mechanisms. In Parkinson's disease, deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is a successful treatment of motor symptoms, but also ...

Subthalamic nucleus stabilizes movements by reducing neural spike variability in monkey basal ganglia

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Chemogenetic inactivation of the subthalamic nucleus in monkeys increases spike train variability in the pallidum and prolongs movement time, suggesting its role in stabilizing pallidal spike trains to achieve stable motor control.

Decisional impulsivity and the associative-limbic subthalamic nucleus in obsessive-compulsive disorder: stimulation and connectivity [PDF]

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2016
Why do we make hasty decisions for short-term gain? Rapid decision-making with limited accumulation of evidence and delay discounting are forms of decisional impulsivity.

The subthalamic nucleus in the context of movement disorders [PDF]

open access: bronzeBrain, 2003
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been regarded as an important modulator of basal ganglia output. It receives its major afferents from the cerebral cortex, thalamus, globus pallidus externus and brainstem, and projects mainly to both segments of the globus pallidus, substantia nigra, striatum and brainstem.

Are there three Subdivisions in the primate Subthalamic Nucleus? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

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

open access: yes, 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
