March 14, 2003 — Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus as a treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) significantly enhances positive mood and emotional memory, according to a report in ...

Study shows that activity in the subthalamic nucleus reflects action outcomes and consequent adaptation in humans; this can be modified through bursts of electrical stimulation, with potential to ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus has been shown to improve motor symptoms associated with Parkinson disease (PD), but the mechanism of this action is unclear. Previous studies ...

New USC research offers an unseen insight into how the brain shifts gears. The researchers have discovered that our innate ability to make quick changes in motor function is the result of a unique ...

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a ...

(A) Experimental design. (B) Behavior assessments using open field tests. Heatmaps illustrate time spent (red) and movement trajectories (green). The PD group exhibited decreased movement speed ...

Subthalamic deep brain stimulation is an effective long-term therapy for Parkinson disease, according to a recent study.

Researchers have applied a chemogenetic tool in macaque monkeys and suppressed the subthalamic nucleus, a part of the basal ganglia circuitry. The chemogenetic suppression induced unstable movements.

A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases.
