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.

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.

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

Closed-loop deep brain stimulation based on a stream-clustering system [PDF]
Idiopathic Parkinsons disease (PD) is currently the second most important neurodegenerative disease in incidence. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) constitutes a successful and necessary therapy; however, the continuous stimulation it provides can be ...
