Abstract
Benefits on the off-medication symptoms of PD obtained acutely with GPe-DBS are in general not sustained. Similarly, the effects of GPi-DBS on the off medication symptoms of PD, can evolve over short periods of time presumably as a result of changes in network-wide neuronal plasticity. These clinical observations provide further insight into DBS mechanism of action, and can also help inform optimal methods of GPi-DBS programming.
