Title
A Model Of The Subthalamo-Pallidal Network Undergoing Extrinsic Stimulation
Abstract
A model of the subthalamo-pallidal loop using integrate-and-fire neurons in conjunction with first order models of synaptic afferents, calcium and potassium currents, and a leaky sodium current exhibits activity similar to that recorded in the Subtlialamic nucleus of Parkinson patients undergoing stereotactic neurosurgery and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). In particular, by incorporating a negative feedback loop, the model produces inhibitory responses to individual DBS pulses and exhibits oscillations in the alpha and beta range (8-29Hz). Moreover, an increase in either DBS stimulus energy or GPe spontaneous activity causes the oscillatory behavior to subside.
