## Abstract High‐frequency stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves the motor signs of Parkinson's disease (PD). The three main components (motor, associative, and limbic) of the cortical‐basal ganglia‐cortical circuits pass through the STN. It is not known whether STN stimulation can

## Abstract Chronic electrical subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation is under investigation for alleviating parkinsonian symptoms. STN alterations may carry the risk of provoking abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs). We took advantage of the reversibility of the stimulation technique to assess the
## Abstract Levodopa (L‐dopa) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation treatments have been associated with both improvement and exacerbation of dysarthria in Parkinson's disease (PD). We report four cases illustrating variant responses of dysarthria to dopaminergic and STN stimulation therapies.
## Abstract The recent resurgent interest in functional surgery for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) has focused on the effects on akinesia and levodopa‐induced dyskinesia. Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves akinesia and rigidity but its effects on tremor have not been s
