- Abstract:
-
Excessive synchronisation of basal ganglia activity at frequencies < 30 Hz is a hallmark of the parkinsonian state, and may contribute to bradykinesia. Accordingly, we electrically stimulated chronically implanted subthalamic macroelectrodes in 10 Parkinson's disease patients, after overnight withdrawal of anti-parkinsonian medication. We compared the effects of stimulation at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and ca. 130 Hz by measuring kinesia time (KT) in a tapping task. Although the effects of...
