The next step for imaging the subthalamic nucleus [PDF]
Sir, We read with interest the recently published study by Accolla and colleagues (2016) on brain networks modulated by subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS; Accolla et al. , 2016). In their study, the authors combined neurophysiological recordings with MRI to obtain much needed, more detailed information on the functional organization of ...

Local Field Potential‐Based Programming: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study
Abstract Objectives Programming deep brain stimulation (DBS) is still based on a trial‐and‐error approach, often becoming a time‐consuming process for both treating physicians and patients. Several strategies have been proposed to streamline DBS programming, most of which are preliminary and mainly address Parkinson's disease, a condition readily ...

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

Subdivisions and Anatomical Boundaries of the Subthalamic Nucleus [PDF]
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 ...

Magnetomechanical neuromodulation using magnetic nanodiscs enables remote activation of neurons. In a hemiparkinsonian mouse model, alternating magnetic fields actuate the nanodiscs to generate torque that opens mechanosensitive ion channels within the subthalamic nucleus, thereby modulating basal ganglia motor circuitry.

Abstract Objective During the surgical procedure of deep brain stimulation (DBS), insertion of an electrode in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) frequently causes a temporary improvement of motor symptoms, known as the microlesion effect (MLE). The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the intraoperative MLE and the clinical ...

Cortico-basal white matter alterations occurring in Parkinson's disease.
Magnetic resonance imaging studies typically use standard anatomical atlases for identification and analyses of (patho-)physiological effects on specific brain areas; these atlases often fail to incorporate neuroanatomical alterations that may occur with

Chaotic desynchronization as the therapeutic mechanism of deep brain stimulation
High frequency deep-brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (DBS) relieves many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in humans and animal models. Although the treatment has seen widespread use, its therapeutic mechanism remains paradoxical. The

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