Somatotopic Localization in Rhesus Subthalamic Nucleus

Archives of Neurology, 1962
In 1947, Mettler and Whittier 1 were able to produce abnormal bodily movements in monkeys by placing lesions in the subthalamic nucleus. These movements, occurring for the most part in the limbs, closely resembled those seen in ballism (flinging movements) or, more broadly, chorea ("dancing" movements).

The Subthalamic Nucleus and Tremor in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, 2008
The role of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in the origin of parkinsonian tremor is discussed. Previous studies in monkeys made parkinsonian by MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) administration suggested a direct participation of the STN in the pathophysiology of tremor.

Effect of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus upon the contralateral subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson disease

Neuroscience Letters, 2009
High frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective treatment of idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD). Exactly how HFS works remains unclear. Although HFS of the STN is most effective in improving contralateral motor functions, clinical studies have shown bilateral beneficial effects suggesting that unilateral STN HFS affects

A golgi study on the subthalamic nucleus of the cat

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1978
AbstractThe subthalamic nucleus (ST) of kittens was studied by means of the rapid Golgi silver impregnation method.The neurons of the ST were classified into three types. Type I neurons, the main constituents of the ST, had oval or polygonal cell bodies with a mean diameter of 26 μm by 36 μm and four to six primary dendrites.

Jules Bernard Luys and the subthalamic nucleus

Movement Disorders, 2002
AbstractJules Bernard Luys, a highly energetic French investigator who made important contributions to anatomopathology, clinical neurology, and psychiatry, discovered the subthalamic nucleus in 1865. Unfortunately, Luys’ description of the nucleus that still bears his name, as well as his highly original insights on the role of this important motor ...

Neurophysiology of the subthalamic nucleus

2018
Having investigated high frequency firing in the STN, and how such increased levels of activity could influence co-ordinated firing within the STN, the effects of one of the STNs targets was assessed. Lesions of the globus pallidus have been shown to create a chronic increase in the levels of STN activity in vivo.
