Although the short-term benefits of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease have been well documented, the long-term outcomes of the ...

Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus, a procedure that is already validated for the treatment of movement disorders, has been proposed as a therapeutic option. In this 10-month, crossover ...

The discovery also allows them to show for the first time that the subthalamic nucleus, a structure ...

The subthalamic nucleus-motor control link is important, Wessel says, because it puts to rest a central question in the brain's communication with the body's motor system, especially how an ...

During my PhD, I recorded local field potentials from the subthalamic nucleus in patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery. Our studies have informed a new deep brain stimulation protocol, ...

Karlo Malaga is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Bucknell University. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 2019 with a Ph.D. in BME. Karlo earned a bachelor’s ...

AJ has Parkinson’s disease and his otherwise debilitating tremors are completely eliminated once the stimulators placed in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of his brain kick in. The obvious ...

Early problems in the subthalamic nucleus contribute to Huntington's disease symptoms, and may impair the processing capacity and health of other brain structures. Huntington's disease is ...

Researchers think they've figured out why Parkinson's disease causes a person's limbs to become so stiff that at times they can feel frozen in place. Using a robotic chair equipped with sensors, a ...

Stimulation of subthalamic nucleus interrupts a cycle of runaway beta-frequency rhythms and restores ability of interneurons to regulate rhythms in the brain's striatum, improving movement ...
