Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at the University Health Network has shed light on the neural signatures of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease. The study found that DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) produces a high-frequency oscillation called evoked resonant neural activity (ERNA), which has been linked to treatment efficacy. The researchers identified that ERNA is associated with temporally-locked neuronal inhibition in the STN and characterized its temporal dynamics. They also localized ERNA to the dorsal STN and assessed its spatial relevance to DBS outcome. This research provides valuable insights into the subcortical neuronal circuit signature of DBS-mediated engagement of the basal ganglia indirect pathway network in Parkinson's disease.
