Neuroimaging of cerebral glucose metabolism and blood flow is ideally suited to assay
widely-distributed brain circuits as a result of local molecular events and behavioral …

The factors underlying epilepsy are multifaceted, but recent research suggests that the
brain's neural circuits, which play a key role in controlling the balance between epileptic and …

Anatomically and functionally located between basal ganglia and brainstem circuitry, the
pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPT g) is in a pivotal position to contribute to motor …

Pedunculopontine nucleus stimulation (PPNS) has been recently proposed as an effective
adjunctive therapy for patients with intractable epilepsy (IE)[1–3]. As with other forms of deep …

Abstract BACKGROUND STN-DBS is well established to improve motor symptoms and
quality of life in patients with PD. While non-motor symptoms are crucial for quality of life in …

Although modernday techniques are often deemed “relatively safe” from a cognitive and
behavioral standpoint, evidence suggests that nonmotor adverse events occur in …

La stimulation cérébrale profonde (DBS, deep brain stimulation) dans la maladie de
Parkinson a l'avantage, par rapport à la lésion classique, d'être réversible et adaptable. La …

Based on the belief that it is a locomotor control structure, the pedunculopontine tegmental
nucleus (PPTg) has been considered a potential target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for …
