"Physicians place the electrodes for DBS in either the subthalamic nucleus or the globus pallidus, which are two structures in the brain closely associated with movement," said senior author Dennis Turner, professor of neurosurgery, neurobiology, and biomedical engineering at the Duke University School of Medicine, who conceived and organized the research and assembled the interdisciplinary team.

First, the researchers spent two years observing and testing the efficacy of stimulating both the subthalamic nucleus and the globus pallidus with the standard, continuous DBS.

They found that targeting the subthalamic nucleus and the globus pallidus at the same time improved motor symptoms more than targeting either region alone.

Globus: There are always variables.

“You can’t use ph; you have to use f for whatever reason and the letter k is off limits,” lamented Nancy Globus, the vice president of regulatory and medication safety for Addison Whitney, a branding firm that has named many drugs.
