Brain tissue properties differentiate between motor and limbic basal ganglia circuits [PDF]
Despite advances in understanding basic organizational principles of the human basal ganglia, accurate in vivo assessment of their anatomical properties is essential to improve early diagnosis in disorders with corticosubcortical pathology and optimize ...

Patients with psychiatric symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and visual hallucinations, may be at increased risk for adverse effects following deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus for Parkinson’s disease, but there have been relatively ...

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

Dorsal subthalamic nucleus targeting in deep brain stimulation:microelectrode recording versus 7-Tesla connectivity [PDF]
Connectivity-derived 7-Tesla MRI segmentation and intraoperative microelectrode recording can both assist subthalamic nucleus targeting for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease. It remains unclear whether deep brain stimulation electrodes placed

Modelling the effects of deep brain stimulation in the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
Based on the belief that it is a locomotor control structure, the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) has been considered a potential target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with symptoms refractory to ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by neuronal loss in the striatum, ultimately leading to an ‘imbalance’ in the electrical activity of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits.

Pharmacogenetic stimulation of cholinergic pedunculopontine neurons reverses motor deficits in a rat model of Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Background Patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) often present with axial symptoms, including postural- and gait difficulties that respond poorly to dopaminergic agents.

Sweetspot Mapping in Deep Brain Stimulation: Strengths and Limitations of Current Approaches
Abstract Objectives Open questions remain regarding the optimal target, or sweetspot, for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in, for example, Parkinson's disease. Previous studies introduced different methods of mapping DBS effects to determine sweetspots. While having a direct impact on surgical targeting and postoperative programming in DBS, these methods ...
