The role of STN beta oscillations on lower extremity muscle activity in Parkinsonian stepping

This study examines how STN beta oscillations relate to lower limb muscle activity during stepping in Parkinson's patients, finding distinct beta patterns and levodopa effects on motor control.

Thalamo-frontal connectivity patterns in Tourette Syndrome: Insights from combined intracranial DBS and EEG recordings

This study identifies thalamo-frontal alpha band connectivity patterns in Tourette Syndrome using DBS and EEG, linking reduced connectivity to tic severity and pre-tic dynamics.

TgF344-AD rat model of Alzheimer's disease: spatial disorientation and asymmetry in hemispheric neurodegeneration

The paper investigates spatial disorientation and hemispheric neurodegeneration in TgF344-AD rats, finding asymmetrical neurodegeneration and impaired spatial memory.

Chronic deep brain stimulation of the human nucleus accumbens region disrupts the stability of inter-temporal preferences.

This study shows that chronic deep brain stimulation of the nucleus accumbens disrupts long-term stability of inter-temporal preferences in OCD patients.

A functional network target for tic reduction during thalamic stimulation for Tourette Syndrome

This study identifies functional connectivity patterns associated with tic reduction in Tourette Syndrome patients undergoing thalamic deep brain stimulation.

Network fingerprint of stimulation induced speech impairment in essential tremor

The paper identifies structural brain fibers associated with speech impairment caused by deep brain stimulation in essential tremor patients and shows their predictive value for intelligibility changes.

Toward a unified connectomic target for deep brain stimulation in obsessive-compulsive disorder

The paper identifies a common neural tract associated with treatment response in OCD patients undergoing DBS targeting different brain regions.

Left prefrontal impact links subthalamic stimulation with depressive symptoms

This study links left prefrontal connectivity with worsening depressive symptoms after STN-DBS in Parkinson's Disease.

Cognitive Improvements after Intermittent Deep Brain Stimulation of the Nucleus Basalis of Meynert in a Transgenic Rat Model for Alzheimer’s disease; a Preliminary Approach

This study compares intermittent and continuous deep brain stimulation of the nucleus basalis of Meynert in a transgenic rat model of Alzheimer’s disease, finding that intermittent stimulation improves spatial memory performance.

Directional DBS Leads Show Large Deviations from their Intended Implantation Orientation

The paper examines deviations in directional DBS lead orientation from intended implantation directions in a patient cohort.

Decoding voluntary movements and postural tremor based on thalamic LFPs for closed-loop stimulation for essential tremor

This paper decodes voluntary movements and postural tremor from thalamic LFPs to enable on-demand DBS for essential tremor without peripheral sensors.
