Abstract
Our finding of a widespread suppression of cortical alpha/beta band activity is particularly interesting as PD is associated with pathologically increased levels of beta band activity in the basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuit. Therefore, suppression of such oscillatory activity might be an essential effect of DBS for relieving motor symptoms in PD and can be achieved at different stimulation frequencies above 100 Hz.
