Decoupling neuronal oscillations during subthalamic nucleus stimulation in the parkinsonian primate

► We studied the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in parkinsonian primates. ► DBS reduced the oscillatory activity within different nuclei of the basal ganglia. ► DBS reduced the oscillatory neuronal interaction within and between nuclei. ► This likely leads to reduced fluctuations of the basal ganglia inhibitory control.
