Cortical Single-Cell Primers of Abnormal Brain Activity in Parkinson’s Disease | Research Abnormal brain oscillatory activity is a well-established hallmark of bradykinesia and motor impairment in Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet its molecular underpinnings remain unclear. To address this gap...

We link pathological brain activity in PD with distinct signatures in #microglia, #oligodendrocytes and #OPC states and to specific mechanisms of abnormal protein folding, mitochondrial dysfunction and brain immunology in PD for future trials

Subcortical i.e stn dbs modulates cortical activity, it reduces pathological oscillation and the cortex can function more physiologically… you need different regions for different functions, therefore good to modulate several regions.. longer story needed!! Hope it gets more clear!!
