Spinal cord stimulation alleviates motor deficits in a primate model of Parkinson disease.
Although deep brain electrical stimulation can alleviate the motor symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD), just a small fraction of patients with PD can take advantage of this procedure due to its invasive nature. A significantly less invasive method--epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS)--has been suggested as an alternative approach for symptomatic treatment of PD. However, the mechanisms underl...
متن کاملDeep brain stimulation alleviates parkinsonian bradykinesia by regularizing pallidal activity.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the basal ganglia can alleviate the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease although the therapeutic mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesize that DBS relieves symptoms by minimizing pathologically disordered neuronal activity in the basal ganglia. In human participants with parkinsonism and clinically effective deep brain leads, regular (i.e., periodic) high-frequen...
متن کاملUntangling a Fiber Bundle Knot Preliminary Results on Stn Connectivity Using Dti and Hardi on Rat Brains
INTRODUCTION Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson’s Disease alleviates the motor symptoms, but causes cognitive and emotional side effects in half of the cases [1]. We strive to locate the STN motor part more precisely by analyzing the connections of the STN with other brain areas. This study compares DTI and HARDI glyphs around the rat STN, which has a mo...
متن کاملDeep brain stimulation in a rat model of post-traumatic stress disorder modifies forebrain neuronal activity and serum corticosterone
Objective(s): Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), one of the most devastating kinds of anxiety disorders, is the consequence of a traumatic event followed by intense fear. In rats with contextual fear conditioning (CFC), a model of PTSD caused by CFC (electrical foot shock chamber), deep brain stimulation (DBS) alleviates CFC abnormalities.Materials and Methods: Forty Male Wistar rats (220–2...
متن کاملO10: Deep Brain Stimulation and Psychiatry
The use of deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders has received great interest owing to the small risk of the operation, the reversible nature of the technique, and the possibility of optimizing treatment postoperatively. Currently deep brain stimulation in psychiatry is investigated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome and major depression. This presentat...
