The functional role of the subthalamic nucleus in cognitive and limbic circuits
Once it was believed that the subthalamic nucleus (STN) was no more than a relay station
serving as a “gate” for ascending basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits. Nowadays, the STN …

The subthalamic nucleus during decision‐making with multiple alternatives
Several prominent neurocomputational models predict that an increase of choice
alternatives is modulated by increased activity in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). In turn …

Accurate timing but increased impulsivity following excitotoxic lesions of the subthalamic nucleus
Several lines of evidence have implicated the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in behaviors that
require precise temporal control. In order to investigate this possibility further, we trained rats …
