The rostro-caudal gradient in the prefrontal cortex and its modulation by subthalamic deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) alleviates motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) but also affects the prefrontal cortex (PFC), potentially leading to cognitive side effects. The present study tested alterations within the rostro-caudal hierarchy of neural pr...
