March 14, 2003 — Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus as a treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) significantly enhances positive mood and emotional memory, according to a report in ...
Researchers have identified a new neural circuit in the brain which produces a strong sense of discomfort when activated. The discovery also allows them to show for the first time that the subthalamic ...
Elevated pallidal beta power may serve as a biomarker for depression in Parkinson’s disease, paving the way for targeted DBS ...
(A) Experimental design. (B) Behavior assessments using open field tests. Heatmaps illustrate time spent (red) and movement trajectories (green). The PD group exhibited decreased movement speed ...
Jan Wessel, at the University of Iowa, led a team that identified a brain region involved in how attention or thought is diverted. In addition to its biological significance, the finding could help ...
Researchers have identified a new neural circuit in the brain which produces a strong sense of discomfort when activated. The discovery also allows them to show for the first time that the subthalamic ...
Researchers investigating how exactly the brain processes the incoming stream of information from the heart and lungs, discovered that specific neurons in the thalamus are actively involved in ...
