Globus pallidus interna (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as an effective neurorehabilitation approach for managing the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). This surgical intervention involves implanting electrodes within the GPi region of the brain, which is a key component of the basal ganglia circuit involved in movement control. By delivering electrical stimulation to the GPi, DBS can modulate the abnormal neural activity associated with PD, thereby reducing tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement).
There are various methods of GPi stimulation, each with its own advantages and limitations. Additionally, novel techniques like Ballistic movements, Eye Saccades
Down out, Mismatch Negativity, Rewards may increase activity in the GPi.
