Neurotransmitter and receptor systems in the subthalamic nucleus

Brain Structure and Function, 2023
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 ...

Motor Evoked Potentials Improve Targeting in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives One of the main challenges posed by the surgical deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure is the successful targeting of the structures of interest and avoidance of side effects, especially in asleep surgery. Here, intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEPs) might serve as tool to identify the pyramidal tract.

The subthalamic nucleus in the context of movement disorders [PDF]

Brain, 2004
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been regarded as an important modulator of basal ganglia output. It receives its major afferents from the cerebral cortex, thalamus, globus pallidus externus and brainstem, and projects mainly to both segments of the globus pallidus, substantia nigra, striatum and brainstem.

Is Deep Brain Stimulation a viable treatment for substance-related addiction? [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2019
For the ability to modulate the activity of dysregulated networks Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of areas involved in reward system and motivational states may have a potential application in addiction despite risks associated with its invasiveness.

Nomogram for Predicting Depression Improvement after Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease

Brain Sciences, 2022
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.

Directional Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease: Results of an International Crossover Study With Randomized, Double‐Blind Primary Endpoint

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objective Published reports on directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) have been limited to small, single‐center investigations. Therapeutic window (TW) is used to describe the range of stimulation amplitudes achieving symptom relief without side effects.

Deep Brain Stimulation Reduces Conflict‐Related Theta and Error‐Related Negativity in Patients With Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder with alterations of cortico‐striato‐thalamo‐cortical loops and impaired performance monitoring. Electrophysiological markers such as conflict‐related medial frontal theta (MFT) and error‐related negativity (ERN) may be altered by clinically effective deep brain ...

Dopamine Dysregulation Syndrome and Deep Brain Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus in Parkinson's Disease

Neurology Research International, 2011
Dopamine dysregulation syndrome is a complication of the dopaminergic treatment in Parkinson's disease that may be very disabling due to the negative impact that compulsive medication use may have on patients' social, psychological, and physical ...

Deep Brain Stimulation of Caudal Zona Incerta for Parkinson's Disease: One‐Year Follow‐Up and Electric Field Simulations

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effects of bilateral caudal zona incerta (cZi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) one year after surgery and to create anatomical improvement maps based on patient‐specific simulation of the electric field.

Subdivisions and Anatomical Boundaries of the Subthalamic Nucleus [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2013
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) lies deep within the brain and plays a central role in both the direct and indirect pathway of the basal ganglia ([Temel et al., 2005][1]). The nucleus itself does not degenerate in patients with Parkinson's disease, but it is an important target for deep ...
