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 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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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.

The subthalamic nucleus, Part I [PDF]
Part I. Development, cytology, topography and connections. This monograph on the subthalamic nucleus accentuates in Part I the gap between experimental animal and human information concerning subthalamic development, cytology, topography and connections.
