Toward an electrophysiological “sweet spot” for deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus
Enhanced beta‐band activity recorded in patients suffering from Parkinson‘s Disease (PD) has been described as a potential physiomarker for disease severity.

Abstract Background and purpose Treatment of freezing of gait (FoG) and other Parkinson disease (PD) axial symptoms is challenging. Systematic assessments of axial symptoms at progressively increasing levodopa doses are lacking. We sought to analyze the resistance to high levodopa doses of FoG, posture, speech, and altered gait features presenting in ...

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

Posterior subthalamic nucleus (PSTh) mediates innate fear-associated hypothermia in mice
Innate and learned fear can induce rapid changes in body temperature of mammals. The authors identify the posterior subthalamic nucleus as a major thermoregulatory hub that connects the external lateral parabrachial subnucleus to the nucleus of the ...

Cerebello‐Prefrontal Connectivity Underlying Cognitive Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorder, with motor and cognitive symptoms. The constellation of cognitive symptoms due to cerebellar degeneration is named cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), which has increasingly been recognized to profoundly impact patients' quality of life;

Brain networks modulated by subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation.
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is an established treatment for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Given the frequent occurrence of stimulation-induced affective and cognitive adverse effects, a better understanding about the ...

Subthalamic Nucleus Oscillatory Characteristics in Meige, Cervical Dystonia and Generalized Dystonia
ABSTRACT Objective Deep brain stimulation offers a unique opportunity to record neural activity of the basal ganglia. While much work in dystonia has focused on the globus pallidus internus, expanding research to investigate subthalamic nucleus (STN) activity in various dystonia types is critical to provide a comprehensive understanding of dystonia ...

Sweetspot Mapping in Deep Brain Stimulation: Strengths and Limitations of Current Approaches
Abstract Objectives Open questions remain regarding the optimal target, or sweetspot, for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in, for example, Parkinson's disease. Previous studies introduced different methods of mapping DBS effects to determine sweetspots. While having a direct impact on surgical targeting and postoperative programming in DBS, these methods ...
