The role of the subthalamic nucleus in response inhibition: evidence from deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease.

We measured reaction times during a stop-signal task while patients with Parkinson's disease were on and off unilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). While reaction times to a "go" stimulus improved, there was no change in reaction times to the "s...
