Neurons in the parafascicular thalamus project to three different parts of the basal ganglia. Targeting these circuits could be a new target for treating motor dysfunction and depression associated with Parkinson's disease.
A new computer model shows the beneficial effects of deep brain stimulation arise from how it interrupts the cycle promoting runway beta in a circuit loop between the subthalamic nucleus and striatum.
Targeted deep brain stimulation may help treat obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Researchers have developed a neurofeedback system which allows Parkinson's patients to voluntarily control beta wave activity in the subthalamic nucleus.
Researchers report a neurofeedback system allows those with Parkinson's to voluntarily control brain waves associated with symptoms of the disorder.
Researchers look at what happens in the brain when we make snap decisions under stress.
Researchers have identified a novel, pain sensing network that links the subthalamic nucleus to a pain processing network in mouse models of Parkinson's disease.
Osaka University researchers reveal the brain region that makes us feel uneasy over unnatural android movements.
Researchers report low frequency deep brain stimulation can help to improve cognitive function in people with Parkinson's disease.
Abnormal activity involving the globus pallidus may be responsible for movement dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, a new study reports.
Researchers have discovered a link between nerve clusters in the brain and the amount of force generated by a physical action.
A new study reports the brain system involved in interrupting body movements also can put the breaks on our stream of thought.
