Jules Bernard Luys: a singular figure of 19th century neurology.
Jules Bernard Luys was a highly industrious and dedicated French investigator who made important contributions to the fields of neuroanatomy and neuropsychiatry in the second half of the 19th century. His name is still eponymically attached to the subthalamic nucleus and the centre médian nucleus, two structures that are at the center of our current thinking about the functional organization of...
متن کاملTargeting the subthalamic nucleus.
The small size and surrounding neuronal structures and fibre tracts make the STN a difficult stereotactic target. In this article we present the technique used by us to target the STN. Our combined experience from two centres comprises 18 lesions and 27 stimulator implants in the STN. Our criteria for patient selection and the use of MRI, frame-on CT and volumetric image fusion are presented. T...
متن کاملThe accessory nucleus of Luys in the rat.
The morphology and connections of the accessory nucleus of Luys were examined in male Wistar strain rats using normal materials stained for Nissl or myelin sheath, and employing the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. This nucleus is situated ventrocaudally to the subthalamic nucleus and rostrally to the substantia nigra. The cells of the nucleus were stained more faintly than those of the sub...
متن کاملThe role of the subthalamic nucleus in response inhibition: Evidence from local field potential recordings in the human subthalamic nucleus
Response inhibition as measured during a stop-signal task refers to the ability to halt an action that has already been set in motion. Cortical and sub-cortical structures, such as the subthalamic nucleus (STN), that are active during attempts to inhibit action are thought to contribute to a 'stop-process' that must gain dominance over a 'go-process' if inhibition is to be successful. We record...
متن کاملRoles of the subthalamic nucleus and subthalamic HCN channels in absence seizures.
Absence seizures consist of a brief and sudden impairment of consciousness. They are characterized by bilaterally synchronized spike and wave discharges (SWDs), which reflect abnormal oscillations in the thalamocortical loops. Recent studies have suggested that the basal ganglia are involved in generation of the SWDs, but their roles are poorly understood at the molecular and cellular levels. H...
