Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established therapy to treat motor symptoms in movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD). The mechanisms leading to the high therapeutic effectiveness of DBS are poorly understood so far, but modulation of oscillatory activity is likely to play an important role. Thus, investigating the effect of DBS on cortical oscillatory activity can help clarifying the neurophysiological mechanisms of DBS. Here, we aimed at scrutinizing changes of cortical oscillatory activity by DBS at different frequencies using magneto-encephalography (MEG).

Distinct oscillatory STN-cortical loops revealed by simultaneous MEG and local field potential recordings in patients with Parkinson's disease Hirschmann, J.; Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Butz, M.; Homburger, M.; Elben, S.; Hartmann, C. J.; Vesper, J.; Wojtecki, L.; Schnitzler, A. (2011-04-01) Neuronal oscillations are assumed to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Neurons in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) generate oscillations which are coupled to rhythmic population activity both in other basal ganglia nuclei and cortical areas.
A direct relationship between oscillatory subthalamic nucleus-cortex coupling and rest tremor in Parkinson's disease Hirschmann, Jan; Hartmann, Christian J.; Butz, Markus; Hoogenboom, Nienke; Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Elben, Saskia; Vesper, Jan; Wojtecki, Lars; Schnitzler, Alfons (2013-12-01) Electrophysiological studies suggest that rest tremor in Parkinson's disease is associated with an alteration of oscillatory activity. Although it is well known that tremor depends on cortico-muscular coupling, it is unclear whether synchronization within and between brain areas is specifically related to the presence and severity of tremor. To tackle this longstanding issue, we took advantage of naturally occurring spontaneous tremor fluctuations and investigated cerebral synchronization in the presence an...
High frequency oscillations in the subthalamic nucleus: A neurophysiological marker of the motor state in Parkinson's disease Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Butz, Markus; Homburger, Melanie; Elben, Saskia; Vesper, Jan; Wojtecki, Lars; Schnitzler, Alfons (2011-06-01) Increasing evidence suggests that abnormal oscillatory activity in basal ganglia and cortex plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease. Recordings of local field potentials from subthalamic nucleus of patients undergoing deep brain stimulation have focused on oscillations occurring at frequencies below 100 Hz in the alpha, beta and gamma range and suggested that, in particular, an increase of beta band oscillations underlies slowing of movement in Parkinson's disease. Recent findings...
Differential modulation of STN-cortical and cortico-muscular coherence by movement and levodopa in Parkinson's disease Hirschmann, J.; Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Butz, M.; Homburger, M.; Elben, S.; Hartmann, C. J.; Vesper, J.; Wojtecki, L.; Schnitzler, A. (2013-03-01) Previous research suggests that oscillatory coupling between cortex, basal ganglia and muscles plays an important role in motor behavior. Furthermore, there is evidence that oscillatory coupling is altered in patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD).
Thalamic GABA levels and occupational manganese neurotoxicity: Association with exposure levels and brain MRI Ma, Ruoyun E.; Ward, Eric J.; Yeh, Chien-Lin; Snyder, Sandy; Long, Zaiyang; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya; Zauber, S. Elizabeth; Dydak, Ulrike (Elsevier BV, 2018-1) Excessive occupational exposure to Manganese (Mn) has been associated with clinical symptoms resembling idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD), impairing cognitive and motor functions. Several studies point towards an involvement of the brain neurotransmitter system in Mn intoxication, which is hypothesized to be disturbed prior to onset of symptoms. Edited Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) offers the unique possibility to measure gamma-amminobutyric acid (GABA) and other neuro-metabolites in vivo non-inv...
