Dynamic neural states underpin motor symptom severity in Parkinson's disease: a longitudinal analysis of chronic cortico-subthalamic nucleus recordings.
Parkinson's movement symptoms do not stem from a single abnormal brain rhythm, but from constantly shifting activity patterns across large brain networks. By analysing long-term recordings from the motor brain network, we identified specific brain "states" linked to worse slowness, tremor, or medication-induced involuntary movements, alongside others associated with better movement. This suggests that future treatments could be more effective by targeting these whole brain states rather than individual rhythms, opening the door to truly personalised brain stimulation.
