Anatomical targets associated with abrupt versus gradual washout of subthalamic deep brain stimulation effects on bradykinesia.

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a common anatomical target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, the effects of stimulation may spread beyond the STN. Ongoing research aims to identify nearby anatomical structures where DBS-induced effects could be...
