Parkinsonism-Related Oscillations in the Cortico-Basal Ganglia-Thalamic Network During Movement: Beyond the Frequency Range

Expression of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with pathological synchronous oscillations of neuronal activity (local field potential/LFP) in the cortico-subcortical network with a wide frequency range. In the present project, we propose to study cortico-subcortical oscillations and their synchronization in patients operated for PD (subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS)) during distinct pharmacological and stimulation conditions (hypokinetic and hyperkinetic), using a simple motor task.
