Architecture of the subthalamic nucleus [PDF]
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,

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.

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

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

Neurotransmitter and receptor systems in the subthalamic nucleus. [PDF]
Brain Struct Funct, 2023 AbstractThe Subthalamic Nucleus (STh) is a lens-shaped subcortical structure located ventrally to the thalamus, that despite being embryologically derived from the diencephalon, is functionally implicated in the basal ganglia circuits. Because of this strict structural and functional relationship with the circuits of the basal ganglia, the STh is a ...

The subthalamic nucleus, oscillations, and conflict [PDF]
Movement Disorders, 2015 AbstractThe subthalamic nucleus (STN), which is currently the most common target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD), has received increased attention over the past few years for the roles it may play in functions beyond simple motor control.

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

In Parkinson’s disease dopaminergic medication and deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus increase motor, but not reflection and cognitive impulsivity [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundParkinson’s disease is associated with increased impulsivity, which can be divided into several domains: motor (consisting of proactive and reactive subdomains), reflection, and cognitive impulsivity.
