Variability in the ideal target of GPi DBS for Parkinson’s disease requires advanced direct targeting for optimal results
Objective: Our findings have the potential to transform the clinical practice of surgeons who rely solely on indirect targeting, by raising awareness of the anatomic…Evaluation of the accuracy of stereotactic DBS electrode implantation by post-operative image fusion
Objective: The precision in implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes based on pre-operative MRI planning is of utmost importance for the success of this…Can intraoperative clinical testing really predict the effects of deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus?
Objective: To evaluate whether stimulation-induced therapeutic and side effects of the permanent electrode are predictable by intraoperative test stimulation with clinical examination. Background: Intraoperative test…Tractography patterns of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To assess the connectivity patterns that characterize clinically beneficial electrodes in Parkinson's disease patients, after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. Background: Deep…Movement related beta oscillatory activity during self-paced wrist movement in the human subthalamic nucleus
Objective: To explore voluntary movement related neuronal activity in the subthalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: How the human basal ganglia processes…DBS of the STN in 44 patients with Parkinson’s disease – Radiological and clinical outcome
Objective: Precision in implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes relies on systematic interdisciplinary planning and intra-operative testing and needs to be discussed along with…Effect of bilateral subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation on impulse control disorders in PD
Objective: To study the effects of bilateral subthalamic nuclei stimulation on impulse control disorders(ICDs) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Impulse control disorders(ICDs) cause significant morbidity…Lead angle matters: Side effects of deep brain stimulation improved with adjustment of lead angle
Objective: A variety of technical considerations influence the outcome of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). We highlight a case where revising the angle of approach significantly…Clinical outcome of subthalamic deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease – The Helsinki experience
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and the possible correlation…Recruitment of single subthalamic neurons for kinematic control of hand and feet movements employs different strategies
Objective: To understand single unit recruitment strategies for upper and lower extremity movements in the human subthalamic nucleus (STN), which is the main target for…
