Electrophysiological studies in patients and animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) often reported increased burst activity of neurons in the basal ganglia. Neurons in the globus pallidus external segment (GPe) in 6-hydroxdopamine (6-OHDA)-treated hemi-parkinsonian rats fire with strong burst int...
