Are there three subdivisions in the primate subthalamic nucleus? [PDF]
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.

The role of the subthalamic nucleus in cognition [PDF]
Reviews in the Neurosciences, 2013 Because the complex functions of the basal ganglia have been increasingly studied over the past several decades, the understanding of the role of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in motor and cognitive functions has evolved. The traditional role in motor function ascribed to the STN, based on its involvement in the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical motor ...

Architecture of the subthalamic nucleus
Communications BiologyThe 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,

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.
