Coherence: a unifying mechanism of deep brain stimulation

J Neurophysiol. 2019 Jan 1;121(1):1-3. doi: 10.1152/jn.00563.2018. Epub 2018 Sep 26.

Abstract

Deep brain stimulation is a powerful neurostimulation technique that proved its efficacy in treating a group of neurological diseases. Several scientific works tried to understand the mechanism of action of deep brain stimulation. Wang et al. ( J Neurosci 38: 4556-4568, 2018) demonstrated new evidence on the role of interregional neuro-oscillatory coherence as a promising model to explain mechanism the of deep brain stimulation.

Keywords: DBS; Parkinson's disease; coherence; dystonia.
