Differences in subthalamic oscillatory activity in the two hemispheres associated with severity of Parkinson's disease.

The results suggest that increased neuronal firing rate and ß frequency oscillatory neurons in the STN are associated with contralateral side motor severity and its progression. Tremor frequency oscillatory neurons are less observed in the STN of the BSIS suggesting that ß oscillatory activity dominates and tremor frequency oscillatory activity reciprocally declines.
