Nitric oxide (NO) is a major neurotransmitter associated with motor control in basal ganglia. Movement disorders, as essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease, are more prevalent on aged individuals.

Researchers have demonstrated that catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) can ...

Males had more gray matter in parts of the temporal lobe involved in sensory processing, as well as in the subthalamic nucleus, key for movement control. But sex could only explain a fraction of ...

Subpopulations of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus have distinct activity patterns that relate to the three hypotheses of the Drift Diffusion Model.

High-frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-HFS) is the preferred surgical treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease. In the 15 years since its introduction into ...

Add a description, image, and links to the subthalamic-nucleus-principal-gaba-cell-neocortex-topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it ...

CHICAGO — Active electrode placement in the right subthalamic nucleus in deep brain stimulation was associated with weight gain in patients with Parkinson’s disease, with lesser gain reported ...

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation is a treatment for Parkinson's disease. In this study, a computational model of a plateau-potential generating subthalamic nucleus neuron (Otsuka-model) and ...

Background: Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is regarded as an effective treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). Clinical benefit, however, varies ...
