✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Eight patients with advanced PD received a unilateral STN DBS. The UPDRS III off drug–on DBS was improved by a mean 44%. Dyskinesias were ameliorated. Levodopa daily dose was reduced. Three patients required the implantation of the second electrode__.__ Unilateral DBS may be efficacious in some patients with advanced PD. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society

## Abstract Relatively little is known about the role of the basal ganglia in human deglutition. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) affords us a model for examining deglutition in humans with known impairment of the basal ganglia.
