Deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus for Parkinson’s disease can restore dynamics of striatal networks
2022
Overview
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is highly effective in alleviating movement disability in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, its therapeutic mechanism of action is unknown. The healthy striatum exhibits rich dynamics resulting from an interaction of beta, gamma, and theta oscillations. These rhythms are essential to selection and execution of motor programs, and their loss or exaggeration due to dopamine (DA) depletion in PD is a major source of behavioral deficits. Restoring the natural rhythms may then be instrumental in the therapeutic action of DBS. We develop a biophysical networked model of a BG pathway to study how abnormal beta oscillations can emerge throughout the BG in PD and how DBS can restore normal beta, gamma, and theta striatal rhythms. Our model incorporates STN projections to the striatum, long known but understudied, found to preferentially target fast-spiking interneurons (FSI).We find that DBS in STN can normalize striatal medium spiny neuron activity by recruiting FSI dynamics and restoring the inhibitory potency of FSIs observed in normal conditions. We also find that DBS allows the reexpression of gamma and theta rhythms, thought to be dependent on high DA levels and thus lost in PD, through cortical noise control. Our study highlights that DBS effects can go beyond regularizing BG output dynamics to restoring normal internal BG dynamics and the ability to regulate them. It also suggests how gamma and theta oscillations can be leveraged to supplement DBS treatment and enhance its effectiveness.
