This valuable study reveals the pro-locomotor effects of activating a deep brain region containing diverse range of neurons in both healthy and Parkinson's disease mouse models. While the findings are ...

“With standard electrode implantation, it is sometimes difficult to find the exact sites to stimulate the subthalamic nucleus. The robot could make this process more efficient, advancing the ...

According to the company, a single administration of AAV-GAD infused into the subthalamic nucleus area of the brain achieved "significant and clinically meaningful improvements from baseline" in ...

Objectives: Bilateral chronic high frequency stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), through the stereotactical placement of stimulating electrodes, effectively improves the motor symptoms of ...

DBS is a surgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes into specific areas of the brain, typically the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or the globus pallidus interna (GPi). These electrodes are ...

These are usually placed in the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus. It’s particularly useful for patients who no longer respond well to medication or suffer from severe dyskinesia (involuntary ...

In another set of experiments, we have found that DBS at the subthalamic nucleus suppresses excessive self-grooming. In follow-up experiments, we are utilizing an optogenetics-based approach to ...
