Pallidal deep brain stimulation alters cortico-striatal synaptic communication in dystonic hamsters
2020-10-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is considered to be the most relevant therapeutic option for patients with severe dystonias, which are thought to arise from a disturbance in striatal control of the GPi, possibly resulting in thalamic disinhibition. The mechanisms of GPi-DBS are far from understood. Hypotheses range from an overall silencing of target nuclei (...
