   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

3. 2. Characterization of the synaptic connectivity patterns of genetically defined neuron types in circuits that regulate dopamine and serotonin
