- Abstract
The article presents a study of local field potentials (LFPs) of bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The voluntary muscle relaxation- (VMR) or voluntary muscle contraction (VMC)-related oscillatory activities were examined over the gamma, alpha and theta frequency bands. Results of the study suggest that STNs are involved bilaterally in various performances of muscle relaxation and contraction through the beta-gamma and theta-gamma networks.
