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.

Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation [PDF]
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is currently the most effective surgical treatment for advanced Parkinson disease (PD). Even when the electrode is well positioned in the target, the optimization of clinical results depends on careful programming of electrical parameters and changes in antiparkinsonian drug dosages.To determine whether stable outcomes from

Targeting the Subthalamic Nucleus
The small size and surrounding neuronal structures and fibre tracts make the STN a difficult stereotactic target. In this article we present the technique used by us to target the STN. Our combined experience from two centres comprises 18 lesions and 27 stimulator implants in the STN.

Subthalamic nucleus detects unnatural android movement [PDF]
AbstractAn android, i.e., a realistic humanoid robot with human-like capabilities, may induce an uncanny feeling in human observers. The uncanny feeling about an android has two main causes: its appearance and movement. The uncanny feeling about an android increases when its appearance is almost human-like but its movement is not fully natural or ...

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

The subcortical cocktail problem; mixed signals from the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra.
The subthalamic nucleus and the directly adjacent substantia nigra are small and important structures in the basal ganglia. Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra are selectively ...

Dynamic modulation of subthalamic nucleus activity facilitates adaptive behavior.
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.
