Locating the STN-DBS electrodes and resolving their subsequent networks using coherent source analysis on EEG
- The deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is the most effective surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). The first aim of the study was to locate the STN-DBS electrode by applying source analysis on EEG. Secondly, to identify tremor related areas which are associated with the STN. The Dynamic imaging of coherent sources (DICS) was used to find the coherent sources in the brain. The capability of the source analysis to detect deep sources like STN in the brain using EEG data was tested with two model dipole simulations. The simulations were concentrated on two aspects, the angle of the dipole orientation and the disturbance of the cortical areas on locating subcortical regions. In all the DBS treated Parkinsonian tremor patients the power spectrum showed a clear peak at the stimulated frequency and followed by there harmonics. The DBS stimulated frequency constituted a network of primary sensory motor cortex, supplementary motor area, prefrontal cortex,The deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is the most effective surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD).

In all the DBS treated Parkinsonian tremor patients the power spectrum showed a clear peak at the stimulated frequency and followed by there harmonics. The DBS stimulated frequency constituted a network of primary sensory motor cortex, supplementary motor area, prefrontal cortex, diencephalon, cerebellum and brainstem. Thus the STN was located in the region of the diencephalon. The resolved network may give better understanding to the pathophysiology of the effected tremor network in PD patients with STN-DBS.…
