Selective activation of subthalamic nucleus output quantitatively scales movements
2022-01-22
Abstract excerpt
The subthalamic nucleus (STN), a diencephalic nucleus strongly connected with the basal ganglia, is a common target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatments of Parkinsonian motor symptoms. The STN is thought to suppress movement by enhancing inhibitory basal ganglia output via the indirect pathway, and disrupting STN output using DBS can restore movement in Parkinson’s patients. However, previous studies on STN...
