Neurotransmitter and receptor systems in the subthalamic nucleus
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 ...

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.

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

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

A role for the subthalamic nucleus in aversive learning
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is critical for behavioral control; its dysregulation consequently correlated with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Parkinson's disease. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the STN successfully alleviates parkinsonian motor symptoms. However, low mood and depression are affective side effects.

Optogenetics and deep brain stimulation neurotechnologies [PDF]
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

The next step for imaging the subthalamic nucleus [PDF]
Sir, We read with interest the recently published study by Accolla and colleagues (2016) on brain networks modulated by subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS; Accolla et al. , 2016). In their study, the authors combined neurophysiological recordings with MRI to obtain much needed, more detailed information on the functional organization of ...

Informed consent decision-making in deep brain stimulation [PDF]
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has proved useful for several movement disorders (Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia), in which first and/or second line pharmacological treatments were inefficacious.
