Mechanisms mediating dynamic changes in neural responses during deep brain stimulation.
Journal Article Brain Stimul · 2026 BACKGROUND: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) generates local evoked potentials (DLEPs). DLEPs reflect neural activation by DBS, but the mechanisms underlying the dynamic changes in DLEPs during ...

Journal Article JAMA Neurol · November 1, 2025 IMPORTANCE: Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) automatically adjusts stimulation amplitude in response to changes in relevant neural activity in people with Parkinson disease (PD). Whether long-term at-home aDBS is safe and delivers effective therapy i ...
