Deep brain stimulation electrode position impact on parkinsonian non-motor symptoms
Background. In this study we evaluated the impact of location of deep brain stimulation electrode active contact in different parts of the subthalamic nucleus on improvement of non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods.

Background: Although the subtahalamic nucleus degeneration has been accused of Parkinson’s disease, the obscure roles of subtalamic nucleus degeneration induced by subarachnoid hemorrhages has not been adequately studied.

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

Imaging of the human subthalamic nucleus
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 subthalamic nucleus, oscillations, and conflict [PDF]
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.

BackgroundIn addition to the typical motor symptoms, a majority of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease experience language impairments. Deep Brain Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus robustly reduces motor dysfunction, but its impact on ...

The role of the subthalamic nucleus in cognition [PDF]
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 ...

Transcriptional Profile of the Developing Subthalamic Nucleus
AbstractThe subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a small, excitatory nucleus that regulates the output of basal ganglia motor circuits. The functions of the STN and its role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease are now well established. However, some basic characteristics like the developmental origin and molecular phenotype of neuronal subpopulations
