DBS
Alternatives for advanced Parkinson’s disease are surgical and DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) treatment.
Surgical treatment consists in lesions of the Subthalamic nucleus (STN) or Globus Pallidus Internus (GPi).
DBS is delivered in the Subthalamic nucleus (STN), likely producing transient inhibition of the nucleus! Thus, DBS is a big misnomer. Therapeutical effects are nevertheless likely through a more complex, not yet understood, effect on establishing networks dynamics of the Deep Brain Stimulation
