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,

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 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.

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 ...

Targeting the Subthalamic Nucleus
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 2001 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.

Imaging of the human subthalamic nucleus
, 2021 The human subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a small lens shaped iron rich nucleus, which has gained substantial interest as a target for deep brain stimulation surgery for a variety of movement disorders. The internal anatomy of the human STN has not been fully elucidated, and an intensive debate, discussing the level of overlap between putative limbic ...

The subcortical cocktail problem; mixed signals from the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra.
PLoS ONE, 2015 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.
PLoS 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.
