Upregulated vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase in Parkinson’s disease cases that have received subthalamic stimulation: A post-mortem evaluation
Objective: Here we measured levels of vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression as a result of high frequency (HF) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of…Can stimulation of deep brain tissue improve the expression of the mouth in Parkinson’s disease patients?
Objective: To observe if stimulation of deep brain tissue can improve expression of the mouth in Parkinson's disease patients. Background: Masked facies or hypomimia is…Electrophysiological activity of anatomically identified STN subterritories in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To characterize the electrophysiological activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) functional subterritories, as anatomically defined on fused CT/MRI images or by the recording tract…Single versus multiple microelectrode recordings (MER) in STN-DBS-surgery for PD: A randomized double-blind controlled trial
Objective: To evaluate whether using multiple versus single MER-guidance peroperatively influence improvement of motor symptoms by STN-DBS in advanced PD. Background: It is well established…Incidence and characteristics of gait dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To identify the effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on gait kinematics in patients with PD and describe the incidence of gait dysfunction…Clinical outcome of constant current deep brain stimulation in patients with medication-refractory essential tremor
Objective: To evaluate, for the first time, the safety and efficacy of long-term ventralis intermedius (Vim) constant current deep brain stimulation (DBS) in essential tremor…Sweet spot of antidystonic effect in pallidal neurostimulation
Objective: We investigated Volumes of Neural Activation (VNAs) in dystonia subjects under effective bilateral pallidum deep brain stimulation (DBS). We aimed to disentangle the sweet…Quality of life after subthalamic stimulation depends on non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate non-motor symptoms (NMS) to find contributing factors for quality of life (QoL) outcome after subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in…Role of dopamine and GABA during subthalamic and pallidal deep brain stimulation: Evidence of dopamine release during subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: We recorded the single-unit activity of striatal cholinergic interneurons of healthy monkeys during high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus…Globus pallidus interna oscillatory activity differentiates tics from voluntary movements and the Parkinsonian resting state
Objective: To describe local field potential (LFP) characteristics during tic acivity, voluntary activity, and the Parkinsonian resting state. Background: Deep brain stimulation is an emerging…
