With the introduction of adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson's disease, new questions emerge regarding who, why, and how to treat. This paper outlines the pathophysiological rationale ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease by modulating a specific brain network that is mainly active in the fast beta frequency range (20 to 35 Hz). This conclusion ...

A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham demonstrated the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to map a 'human dysfunctome' - a collection of dysfunctional brain circuits associated ...

Researchers have uncovered a fast-acting brain network that may determine how effectively deep brain stimulation improves Parkinson’s symptoms. Parkinson’s disease can make everyday movements slow, ...

An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...
