Abstract

Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) is a highly effective surgical treatment in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Because the STN has been shown to represent an important relay station not only in motor basal ganglia circuits, the modification of brain areas al...
