Original lecture slide 31, From nuclei to networks, contrasting an old model targeting the STN as a coordinate with a modern network model linking STN, cortex, GPi, thalamus and brainstem

FROM NUCLEI TO NETWORKS

  • The conceptual shift in modern DBS
  • OLD MODEL
  • TARGET
  • STN
  • Coordinate → nucleus
  • MODERN MODEL
  • STN
  • Cortex
  • GPi
  • Thalamus
  • Brainstem
  • KEY IDEA
  • Clinical effect depends on which circuit elements and fibres are recruited—not merely which nucleus contains the lead.
