Udall Project 1 Aim 4

University of Minnesota

Summary

By defining the strength and direction of connectivity patterns at rest and during movement across the basal ganglia-thalamocortical (BGTC) network we will characterize the role of individual circuits in motor performance and cognitive function, paving the way for future development of optimization algorithms for DBS that take advantage of this understanding.
