    Abstract The basal ganglia has received much attention over the last two decades, as it has been implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Most of this research - in both animals and humans - attempt to understand the neural and biochemical substrates of basic motor and learning processes, and how these are affected in human patients as well as animal models of brain disorders. The current volume contains research articles and reviews describing basic, pre-clinical and clinical neuroscience research of the basal ganglia written by attendees of the 11th Triennial Meeting of the International Basal Ganglia Society (IBAGS) that was held March 3-7th, 2013 at the Princess Hotel, Eilat, Israel and by researchers of the basal ganglia. Specifically, articles in this volume include research reports on the biochemistry, computational theory, anatomy and physiology of single neurons and functional circuitry of the basal ganglia networks as well as the latest data on animal models of basal ganglia dysfunction and clinical studies in human patients

    Abstract To date, there is a consensus that there are at least two neuronal populations in the non-human primate (NHP) external globus pallidus (GPe): low-frequency discharge (LFD) and high-frequency discharge (HFD) neurons. Nevertheless, almost all NHP physiological studies have neglected the functional importance of LFD neurons. This study examined the discharge features of these two GPe neuronal subpopulations recorded in four NHPs engaged in a classical conditioning task with cues predicting reward, neutral and aversive outcomes. The results show that LFD neurons tended to burst, encoded the salience of behavioral cues, and exhibited correlated spiking activity. By contrast, the HFD neurons tended to pause, encoded cue valence, and exhibited uncorrelated spiking activity. Overall, these findings point to the dichotomic organization of the NHP GPe, which is likely to be critical to the implementation of normal basal ganglia functions and computations.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative conditions, which are ascribed to extracellular accumulation of β-amyloid peptides into plaques. This phenomenon seems to typify other related neurodegenerative diseases. The present study uses classical molecular-dynamics simulations to decipher the aggregation-disintegration behavior of β-amyloid peptide plaques in the presence of static and oscillating oriented external electric fields (OEEFs). A long-term disintegration of such plaques is highly desirable since this may improve the prospects of therapeutic treatments of Alzheimer's disease and of other neurodegenerative diseases typified by senile plaques. Our study illustrates the spontaneous aggregation of the β-amyloid, its prevention and breakdown when OEEF is applied, and the fate of the broken aggregate when the OEEF is removed. Notably, we demonstrate that the usage of an oscillating OEEF on β-amyloid aggregates appears to lead to an irreversible disintegration. Insight is provided into the root causes of the various modes of aggregation, as well as into the different fates of OEEF-induced disintegration in oscillating vs static fields. Finally, our simulation results are compared to the well-established TTFields and the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapies, which are currently used options for treatments of Alzheimer's disease and other related neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract Sleep spindles are crucial for learning in the cortex and basal ganglia (BG) because they facilitate the reactivation of previously active neuronal ensembles. Studying field potentials (FPs) and spiking in the cortex and BG during sleep in non-human primates following pre-sleep learning, we show that FP sleep spindles are widespread in the BG and are similar to cortical spindles in morphology, spectral content, and response to the pre-sleep task. Further, BG spindles are concordant with electroencephalogram (EEG) spindles and associated with increased cortico-BG correlation. However, spindles across the BG differ markedly in their entrainment of local spiking. The spiking activity of striatal projection neurons exhibits consistent phase locking to striatal and EEG spindles, producing phase windows of peaked cross-region spindling. In contrast, firing in other BG nuclei is not entrained to either local or EEG sleep spindles. These results suggest corticostriatal synapses as the main hub for offline cortico-BG communication.

    Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a common disease in the elderly population. Severe, medication-refractory ET may require surgical intervention via ablation or deep brain stimulation (DBS). Thalamic Vim (Ventral intermediate nucleus), targeted indirectly using atlas-based coordinates, is the classical target in these procedures. We present a case of an ET patient with a non-MR-compatible cardiac orphaned leads who was a candidate for DBS surgery. Due to the lead constraints of MR use, we used a head computed tomography (CT) with contrast media as the reference exam to define the AC, PC, and midline, and to register and indirectly target the Vim. For target validation, we used intraoperative electrophysiological recordings and intraoperative CT. We implanted bilateral directional leads at the target location. We used the-essential-tremor-rating-assessment-scale (TETRAS) pre and postoperatively to clinically evaluate tremor. Intraoperative micro-electrode recordings (MERs) showed individual tremor cells and a robust increase in normalized root mean square (NRMS) indicating entry to the Vim. Postoperative visualization using lead-DBS along with dramatic clinical improvements show that we were able to accurately target the Vim. Our results show that CT-only registration and planning for thalamic Vim DBS is feasible, and that MERs and intraoperative CT are useful adjuncts for Vim target validation.

    Abstract Rest tremor is one of the most prominent clinical features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we hypothesized that cortico-basal ganglia neurons tend to fire in a pattern that matches PD tremor frequency, suggesting a resonance phenomenon. We recorded spiking activity in the primary motor cortex (M1) and globus pallidus external segment of 2 female nonhuman primates, before and after parkinsonian state induction with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. The arm of nonhuman primates was passively rotated at seven different frequencies surrounding and overlapping PD tremor frequency. We found entrainment of the spiking activity to arm rotation and a significant sharpening of the tuning curves in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine state, with a peak response at frequencies that matched the frequency of PD tremor. These results reveal increased sensitivity of the cortico-basal ganglia network to tremor frequency and could indicate that this network acts not only as a tremor switch but is involved in setting its frequency.

    Abstract Genetic subtyping of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) may assist in predicting the cognitive and motor outcomes of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Practical questions were recently raised with the emergence of new data regarding suboptimal cognitive outcomes after STN-DBS in individuals with PD associated with pathogenic variants in glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1-PD). However, a variety of gaps and controversies remain. (1) Does STN-DBS truly accelerate cognitive deterioration in GBA1-PD? If so, what is the clinical significance of this acceleration? (2) How should the overall risk-to-benefit ratio of STN-DBS in GBA1-PD be established? (3) If STN-DBS has a negative effect on cognition in GBA1-PD, how can this effect be minimized? (4) Should PD patients be genetically tested before STN-DBS? (5) How should GBA1-PD patients considering STN-DBS be counseled? We aim to summarize the currently available relevant data and detail the gaps and controversies that exist pertaining to these questions. In the absence of evidence-based data, all authors strongly agree that clinicians should not categorically deny DBS to PD patients based solely on genotype (GBA1 status). We suggest that PD patients considering DBS may be offered genetic testing for GBA1, where available and feasible, so the potential risks and benefits of STN-DBS can be properly weighed by both the patient and clinician. © 2023 The Authors.

    Abstract Today, the basal ganglia (BG) network can be viewed as a three-layer neural network in which the striatum and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) are the two BG input structures and together innervate BG downstream structures using GABA and glutamate, respectively. The striatum is larger than the STN and is the main site of dopamine depletion in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, STN is the prime target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) of patients with advanced PD. Traditionally, the efficacy of STN-DBS is attributed to the suppression of the pathological synchronous β oscillations along the cortico-thalamo BG network. In conventional DBS, stimulation is delivered continuously and equally influences normal and pathological neural activity. A DBS protocol would be therefore more effective if stimulation was only applied when necessary. We recently showed in the non-human primate model of PD that parkinsonism-related β oscillations resonate across the BG network through the STN, not the striatum. Moreover, we also demonstrated that BG β oscillations are episodic and albeit extended in parkinsonism also exists in the healthy condition. Thus, not all parkinsonian β oscillatory episodes are necessarily pathological. Remarkably, the duration of BG β episodes is more highly impacted than their magnitude in parkinsonism and may be more reliable metric - especially in STN - to discriminate between normal ("good") and pathological ("bad") β episodes. Thus, prolonged STN β episodes is suggested as one of the biomarkers of the pathological neuronal activity in parkinsonism that could be used as a trigger for adaptive DBS.

    Abstract Twiddler's syndrome (TS) is a hardware-related complication of deep brain stimulation which has not been well documented and is probably underreported. The objective of this study is to comprehensively describe TS by systematically reviewing the related literature. The methods include selecting the eligible studies based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data about studies and TS were collected. A descriptive statistical analysis of the extracted data was performed. We found 18 eligible studies describing 23 patients with TS. The mean age of the 23 patients was 61.4 ± 15.9 years (range, 16-79 years.). The percentage of TS in the female population was 91.3% (females: 21/23). The incidence of postoperative TS was 1.4% (6 out of 437) per patient and 1.1% (8 out of 709) per extension wire. The mean time to clinical presentation was 9.9 ± 10.3 months (range, 0.5-36 months). Nineteen of the twenty-three patients presented with a rebound of previous symptoms. Twelve of the twenty-three patients had high impedance at the postoperative checkup of the DBS system. A plain X-ray indicated twisted extension wires in almost all these patients. All patients meeting the definition of postoperative device-related TS underwent revision surgery. TS is more prevalent in females. Based on the typical clinical symptoms (rebound of the previous symptoms, high impedance, and X-ray demonstration), the differential diagnosis can often be straightforward. TS should thus be taken into consideration when attempting to explain or rule out hardware malfunction. The timely recognition and proper revision of TS can prevent further serious damage.
