Study Summary

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a movement disorder causing either uncontrolled movement, slowness of movement, slowness of initiation of movement or rigidity of muscles. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is the FDA-approved method for patients who no longer get effective treatment from the best available medication. The location in the brain where the electrode is placed during DBS surgery for PD is called the Subthalamic Nucleus or STN. This study aims to investigate another location in the brain, the Substantia nigra pars reticulata or SNr. The SNr is also known to be involved in motor control of muscles and may be involved in the process by which the initiation of movement occurs.

Primary Outcome

Recording and evaluating brain activity from the SNr (Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata) in Parkinson's disease patients while the patient is undergoing the visual motor testing during Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery.
