Effect of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus upon the contralateral subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson disease

High frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective treatment of idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD). Exactly how HFS works remains unclear. Although HFS of the STN is most effective in improving contralateral motor functions, clinical studies have shown bilateral benefic...
