Corticostriatal Contributions to Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Impairment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to learn more about the brain activity underlying Parkinson's disease cognitive impairment. The investigators will utilize neural recordings from corticostriatal structures performed during deep brain stimulation surgery to measure neural activity underlying nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Neural recordings and stimulation
|
Other: Neurophysiology recordings
Neurophysiology recordings will be performed during deep brain stimulation surgery and their relationship to performance on a working memory task evaluated
Procedure: Neural stimulation
Neural stimulation will be delivered during a working memory task and its impact on task performance quantified

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Changes in caudate DLPFC beta coherence [Baseline to end of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), approximately 3-4 hours]
Caudate DLPFC coherence will be computed at rest and during the working memory task and correlated with cognitive metrics
- Changes in working memory performance with neural stimulatoin [Baseline to end of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), approximately 3-4 hours]
The working memory task will involve seeing a series of words presented on the screen and pressing a button to respond. Working memory task performance will be compared between stimulated and non stimulated blocks and between stimulation targets
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in beta power with neural stimulation [Baseline to end of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, approximately 3-4 hours]
Beta power will be computed and compared between stimulation on and off conditions for different targets
