The paper shows that REM sleep suppresses β oscillations in Parkinsonism, allowing rapid movements despite motor impairments during wakefulness.

The paper investigates thalamic bursts during sleep and finds they do not wake the cortex, suggesting a modulatory role of the basal ganglia-thalamus interaction.

The paper examines non-linear input-output relationships in the subthalamic nucleus of Parkinson's patients by analyzing local field potentials and spiking activity.
