| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we measured cortical activities in the brain of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients before and after deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS). Our NIRS study showed increased cortical activities as well as improvement of PD symptoms. This study sheds light on the mechanisms of DBS therapy for PD, and contributes to the development of new therapy.
