About the event

Our next NeuroMeetup talk will be dedicated to Deep Brain Stimulation. Dr. med. gerd Tinkhauser, from the Inselspital, and Eduardo Martin Moraud, from the CHUV, will share their latest insights on the subject. As usual, the talk will be followed by an apéro, to continue the discussion in an informal setting.

First speaker : Gerd Tinkhauser (Inselspital)

Presentation: Combining deep brain stimulation with physiology in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract : Deep brain stimulation is an established treatment for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. This therapy however is limited by the slow manual and error-prone programming algorithms to identify the optimal stimulation site and by the stimulation induced side-effects. Electrophysiological recordings from the basal ganglia, the structures where the electrodes are implanted, revealed the presence of electrophysiological markers related to the motor symptoms. Studying distribution and behavioral characteristics of these markers led to the first pilot studies toward automatized programming and…
