The brain naturally implements principles of calculus and integrated learned rules of life with sensory information to guide motor plans and actions.
Researchers report the adverse cognitive effects associated with DBS in Parkinson's patients are linked to a different neural pathway than the one responsible for the motor effects generated by the treatment.
Abnormal activity involving the globus pallidus may be responsible for movement dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, a new study reports.
The subthalamic nucleus in the brain communicates with the motor system to help the body stop an action, researchers confirm.
A new study reports the brain system involved in interrupting body movements also can put the breaks on our stream of thought.
Researchers have discovered a neural circuit that processes evaluations and have identified its sources.
According to researchers, deep brain stimulation reduces the desire to use heroin and rat models of addiction.
Researchers report low frequency deep brain stimulation can help to improve cognitive function in people with Parkinson's disease.
Electrical stimulation using extradural electrodes—placed underneath the skull but not implanted in the brain, is a safe approach with meaningful benefits for patients with Parkinson's disease according to new research.
Manipulating newly identified pathways can reduce drug seeking behavior, a new study reports.
Researchers have developed a neurofeedback system which allows Parkinson's patients to voluntarily control beta wave activity in the subthalamic nucleus.
New studies may help to explain the path from stem cells to dopamine neurons.
