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

Potential mechanisms for imperfect synchronization in parkinsonian basal ganglia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Neural activity in the brain of parkinsonian patients is characterized by the intermittently synchronized oscillatory dynamics. This imperfect synchronization, observed in the beta frequency band, is believed to be related to the hypokinetic motor ...

Topography and distribution of adenosine A2A and dopamine D2 receptors in the human Subthalamic Nucleus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The human Subthalamic Nucleus (STh) is a diencephalic lens-shaped structure located ventrally to the thalamus and functionally implicated in the basal ganglia circuits.

The subthalamic nucleus becomes a generator of bursts in the dopamine-depleted state. Its high frequency stimulation dramatically weakens transmission to the globus pallidus

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2011
Excessive burst firing in the dopamine-depleted basal ganglia correlates with severe motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease that are attenuated by high frequency electrical stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus.

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

open access: yes, 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.

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

open access: yes, 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. Methods: We conducted a five-

Optogenetics and deep brain stimulation neurotechnologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Brain neural network is composed of densely packed, intricately wired neurons whose activity patterns ultimately give rise to every behavior, thought, or emotion that we experience. Over the past decade, a novel neurotechnique, optogenetics that combines

Subthalamic nucleus stimulation and levodopa modulate cardiovascular autonomic function in Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We aimed to explore the effects of bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation and levodopa on cardiovascular autonomic function in Parkinson’s disease.

Dynamic modulation of subthalamic nucleus activity facilitates adaptive behavior.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2023
Adapting actions to changing goals and environments is central to intelligent behavior. There is evidence that the basal ganglia play a crucial role in reinforcing or adapting actions depending on their outcome.

Development of a novel gripping test for the evaluation of the finger fine motor ability in MPTP-treated monkeys [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020
Assessing the finger fine motor ability is extremely important. However, conventional behavioral tests in monkeys are complicated and costly. We attempted to develop a new task to assess the precise finger grip in Parkinson's disease monkeys based on the
