Extradural motor cortex stimulation improves gait, speech, and language in a patient with pure akinesia

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.2018.05.014Get rights and content

Highlights

  • After extradural motor cortex stimulation in a case of pure akinesia, gait improved.

  • After treatment, dysarthria also improved, as speech became understandable.

  • After treatment, cognitive performance on various language tasks also improved.

  • SPECT showed postoperative increased perfusionin various cortical areas bilaterally.

    In addition, the isolated optogenetic intervention of two neuron populations in globus pallidus pars externa (GPe) results in higher activity in GPe neurons expressing Parvalbumin (PV) than in GPe neurons expressing Lim Homeobox 6 (Lhx6), restoring movement in dopamine-depleted mice [13]. Although both DBS and dopamine replacement therapies target deep brain structures, there is a growing interest in motor cortex stimulation for the alleviation of PD symptoms [14,15]. M1 is a hierarchical structure where the morphology, function, and projection of neurons within each layer are different [16,17].
