Difference between physiologically defined subthalamic nucleus target and final lead placement: Influence in clinical outcome
Objective: To evaluate distance between the physiologically defined subthalamic nucleus (STN) target and final lead placement, and its influence on the clinical outcome at 6…Is inter-limb coupling modified by subthalamic deep brain stimulation and dopaminergic medication in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: We characterized different aspects of bimanual coordination in patients with PD, including inter-limb coupling, and then determined whether they were altered by therapeutic modulation…Electric stimulation of the nucleus subthalamicus is able to modulate prepulse inhibition. A pilot study in Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To evaluate if prepulse inhibition (PPI) is influenced by electrical stimulation in the Nucleus subthalamicus (STN) of patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD). Background: PPI…Cortical and subcortical contribution in the production of reaching movements in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the interplay between subthalamic nucleus (STN) activity and striatal dopamine deficiency in the production of arm movements in subjects with Parkinson's disease…Comparison of clinically derived and model based programming parameters of subthalamic nucleus stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To test whether DBS parameters in chronically stimulated Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients chosen by clinical criteria are congruent with DBS parameters as derived from…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…Functional motor outcomes after globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation in Huntington´s disease – A case report
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the motor outcome before and after 6 month follow-up in a HD patient treated by GPi-DBS.…Novel PLA2G6 c.1627C>T homozygous mutation and response to DBS-GPi
Objective: We present a novel homozygous PLA2G6 mutation and response to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Background: Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) type 2/PLA2G6 is…Deep brain stimulation of the dentate nucleus improves ataxia and modulates cortical excitability
Objective: To assess tremor and ataxia changes by dentate nucleus deep brain stimulation and evaluate how DBS could modulate cortical excitability seen in cerebellar stroke.…Decline in drawing ability associated with frontal dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of the present study was to elucidate the properties of drawing ability in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep…
