Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder and is characterized by gradual deterioration of motor symptoms. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is now widely used in neurosurgical therapy, because it markedly improves the Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Tracing studies have shown that the STN is segregated into multiple functional areas. We hypothesize that DBS should be targeted in the area responsible for motor function to reduce unwanted side effects and improve the positive DBS effects. Therefore, we are interested in localization of the functional areas of the STN. In our study, we determine the functional distribution of the synaptic inputs within the STN of anesthetized rats.
