Functional anatomy of the subthalamic nucleus and the pathophysiology of cardinal features of Parkinson's disease unraveled by focused ultrasound ablation

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) modulates basal ganglia output and plays a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Blockade/ablation of the STN improves motor signs in PD. We assessed the topography of focused ultrasound subthalamotomy (n = 39) by voxel-based lesion-s...
