Connectivity and Dynamics Underlying Synaptic Control of the Subthalamic Nucleus
Adaptive motor control critically depends on the interconnected nuclei of the basal ganglia in the CNS. A pivotal element of the basal ganglia is the subthalamic nucleus (STN), which serves as a therapeutic target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in ...

Analysis of patient-specific stimulation with segmented leads in the subthalamic nucleus.
ObjectiveSegmented deep brain stimulation leads in the subthalamic nucleus have shown to increase therapeutic window using directional stimulation. However, it is not fully understood how these segmented leads with reduced electrode size modify the ...

Efficient Micro-electrode Recording Modeling using a Filtered Point Process [PDF]
In this paper we present an efficient model of the neuronal potentials recorded by a deep brain stimulation microelectrode (DBS MER) in the subthalamic nucleus. It is shown that a computationally efficient filtered point process consisting of 10,000 neurons, including extracellular filtering closely matches recordings from 13 Parkinson's disease ...

Dynamic modulation of subthalamic nucleus activity facilitates adaptive behavior.
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.

Modeling effect of GABAergic current in a basal ganglia computational model [PDF]
Electrical high frequency stimulation (HFS) of deep brain regions is a method shown to be clinically effective in different types of movement and neurological disorders. In order to shed light on its mode of action a computational model of the basal ganglia network coupled the HFS as injection current into the cells of the subthalamic nucleus (STN ...

Pallidal versus subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for levodopa‐induced dyskinesia
To compare the efficacy of subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on reducing levodopa‐induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson’s disease, and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms.

Nomogram for Predicting Depression Improvement after Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease
Background: Parkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease, with depression being a common non-motor symptom. Bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation is an effective method for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
