INTRODUCTION: Previous studies found subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) has clinical effect on Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and obsessive compulsive disorder. It is noteworthy that only a few studies report the STN-DBS for Tourette's syndrome (TS). Globus pallidus interna (GPi)-DBS is the one of the most common targets for TS. So, this paper aims to investigate the neural oscillations in STN and GPi as well as the DBS effect between these two targets in same patients.
METHODS: The local field potentials (LFPs) were simultaneously recorded from the bilateral GPi and STN in four patients with TS. The LFPs were decomposed into neural oscillations, and the frequency and time-frequency characteristics of the neural oscillations were analyzed across the conditions of resting, poststimulation, and movement.
RESULTS: No difference of resting LFP was found between the two targets. The poststimulation period spectral power revealed the high beta and gamma oscillations were recovered after GPi-DBS but remained attenuated after STN-DBS. The STN beta oscillation has fewer changes during tics than voluntary movement, and the gamma oscillation was elevated when the tics appeared.
CONCLUSION: The high beta and gamma oscillations in GPi restored after GPi-DBS, but not STN-DBS. High beta and gamma oscillations may have physiological function in resisting tics in TS. The cortex compensation effect might be interfered by the STN-DBS due to the influence on the hyper-direct pathway but not GPi-DBS.
