    Author : Yu Zhang; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world. PD is caused by degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). READ MORE

  3. 7. Deep Brain Stimulation Improves Brain Efficiency in Essential Tremor Patients

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Lena Lindström; [2017]
    Keywords : Deep brain stimulation; Essential tremor; Working memory; fMRI; DBS; ET; WM;

    Abstract : The movement disorder essential tremor can be treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS), where electric current is delivered to deep brain structures through permanently implanted electrodes. In this study, brain activity during working memory performance was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging in thirteen essential tremor patients with DBS in caudal Zona incerta, a diencephalic nucleus.

  5. 9. Individualized mathematical modeling of neural activation in electric field

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Helena Andersson; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. Today it has been used in more than 80.000 patients. Electrical stimulation is administered by an implanted pulse generator through an electrode surgically placed in a target brain area specific to the treated disease. READ MORE

  6. 10. Impulse response analysis of neuromodulation for the treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Staffan Hedström; [2016]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In adaptive deep brain stimulation, a treatment for motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, the target of the stimulus is usually in the sub-thalamic nucleus or the globus pallidus. In this thesis, a new stimulus target called reticular thalamus is investigated in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease. READ MORE
