Research Focus

• Pathophysiology of movement disorders (Parkinson’s disease, dystonia)
• Action mechanism of deep brain stimulation (invasive recording from the human basal ganglia and
• use of deep brain stimulation as a lesion model)
• Clinical studies: deep brain stimulation for movement disorders
• Functional role of neuronal oscillatory activity of the human basal ganglia
• Invasive recordings from human basal ganglia: multiunit activity and local field potentials, EEG,
• and transcranial magnetic stimulation
