Eight cylindrical contact lead recordings in the subthalamic region localize beta oscillations source to the dorsal STN
Background: In Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has prominent oscillatory activity in the beta band, which may be related to the motor symptoms severity. Local field potential (LFP) studies using standard four-contact deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads indicate t...
