Response inhibition in Parkinson’s disease
STN-DBS improves motor symptoms, PD, motor impulsivity
BRAIN
As a core component of executive functions, response inhibition is the ability to withhold prepotent reflexive responses allocating more time to shape the behavioral strategy according to context which often results in more favorable outcomes of our actions (Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective treatment in PD. While STN-DBS improves motor symptoms, a variety of behavioral studies have lend credence to stimulation-induced motor impulsivity (
