Cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) respond well to treatment with levodopa and deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). However, it has remained unclear whether levodopa and STN-DBS have differential effects on bradykinesia. We investigated 8 PD-patients with STN-ele

## Abstract We assessed the effects of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN‐DBS) or internal pallidum (GPi‐DBS) on health‐related quality of life (HrQoL) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease participating in a previously reported multicenter trial. Sickness Impact Profile
## Abstract Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) show impairment in generating random motor sequences reflecting a higher order motor deficit in set‐shifting and suppression of perseverative behavior. The impact of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on motor perseverati
