Hitting the brakes: pathological subthalamic nucleus activity in Parkinson's disease gait freezing.
Gait freezing is a complex and devastating paroxysmal motor arrest commonly suffered in Parkinson's disease that causes significant impairment to mobility, commonly resulting in falls and subsequent injury.

Alternating Modulation of Subthalamic Nucleus Beta Oscillations during Stepping
Gait disturbances in Parkinson's disease are commonly refractory to current treatment options and majorly impair patient's quality of life. Auditory cues facilitate gait and prevent motor blocks.

Unsupervised Detection of Sub-Territories of the Subthalamic Nucleus During DBS Surgery with Manifold Learning [PDF]
During Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) surgery for treating Parkinson's disease, one vital task is to detect a specific brain area called the Subthalamic Nucleus(STN) and a sub-territory within the STN called the Dorsolateral Oscillatory Region(DLOR). Accurate detection of the STN borders is crucial for adequate clinical outcomes.

Subthalamic Nucleus and Sensorimotor Cortex Activity During Speech Production
The sensorimotor cortex is somatotopically organized to represent the vocal tract articulators such as lips, tongue, larynx, and jaw. How speech and articulatory features are encoded at the subcortical level, however, remains largely unknown. We analyzed

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 ...

Intermittent synchronization in a network of bursting neurons [PDF]
Synchronized oscillations in networks of inhibitory and excitatory coupled bursting neurons are common in a variety of neural systems from central pattern generators to human brain circuits. One example of the latter is the subcortical network of the basal ganglia, formed by excitatory and inhibitory bursters of the subthalamic nucleus and globus ...

Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation: Basic Concepts and Novel Perspectives
Over the last decades, extensive basic and clinical knowledge has been acquired on the use of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is now clear that mechanisms involved in the effects of this therapy are

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.

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...
