How changes in network topology result in these pathological behav...

Oscillations of populations of neurons deep in the brain are thought to be responsible for some of the symptoms for Parkinson's Disease. Drugs and deep brain stimulation that re used to treat Parkinson's Disease suppress these oscillations. We have developed methods to measure how the oscillations are modulated by stimulation, to generate a phas...
