Imaging of the human subthalamic nucleus
The human subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a small lens shaped iron rich nucleus, which has gained substantial interest as a target for deep brain stimulation surgery for a variety of movement disorders. The internal anatomy of the human STN has not been fully elucidated, and an intensive debate, discussing the level of overlap between putative limbic ...

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.

Brain tissue properties differentiate between motor and limbic basal ganglia circuits [PDF]
Despite advances in understanding basic organizational principles of the human basal ganglia, accurate in vivo assessment of their anatomical properties is essential to improve early diagnosis in disorders with corticosubcortical pathology and optimize ...

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

Subthalamic Nucleus Subregion Stimulation Modulates Inhibitory Control [PDF]
AbstractPatients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) often experience reductions in the proficiency to inhibit actions. The motor symptoms of PD can be effectively treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a key structure in the frontal–striatal network that may be directly involved in regulating inhibitory control. However,

ABSTRACT Objective Accurate localization of epileptogenic tubers (ETs) in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is essential but challenging, as these tubers lack distinct pathological or genetic markers to differentiate them from other cortical tubers.

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
