Dissecting Brainstem Locomotor Circuits: Converging Evidence for Cuneiform Nucleus Stimulation
There are a pressing and unmet need for effective therapies for freezing of gait (FOG) and other neurological gait disorders. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of a midbrain target known as the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) was proposed as a potential treatment based on its postulated involvement in loc...
