A new study led by Bucknell University Professor Karlo Malaga, biomedical engineering, has identified key insights into ...

The subthalamic nucleus is a pea-sized brain region involved in the motor-control system, meaning our movements. In people with Parkinson's disease, those movements have been compromised ...

A new study reveals that up to 15.9% of Parkinson’s patients experience gait and balance worsening after STN-DBS surgery, ...

A new study led by a Bucknell biomedical engineering professor has identified key insights into optimizing deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease patients to help alleviate symptoms such as ...

Both work by monitoring the same part of the brain, called the subthalamic nucleus. But they respond in different ways. A “fast” algorithm detects patterns associated with symptoms and immediately ...

More radical solutions are provided by deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus (or internal pallidus). This approach has proved efficacious in reducing LID, largely because it allows a ...

Image: Adobe Stock Participants were fitted with either subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus internus DBS leads connected to a Medtronic Percept PC neurostimulator. The study, which compared ...

Substantial decreases in obsessive–compulsive symptoms during stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson disease have been previously reported. Mallet et al. hypothesized that the ...

Deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes that stimulate the subthalamic nucleus with adjustable high-frequency pulses. In the days before the technique was developed, treatment for ...

Published on March 4 in the journal Brain, the study titled "The human subthalamic nucleus transiently inhibits active attentional processes" highlights the role of the subthalamic nucleus ...
