Modeling Parkinsonian Freezing and Deep Brain Stimulation Effects in a Basal Ganglia Network

Show abstract
The precise mechanism through which Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) mitigates freezing episodes in Parkinsons disease remains unknown. We modelled Parkinsonian freezing using a model of the basal ganglia that adopts a Dynamic Neural Field network for simultaneous action selection (selecting which action is executed) and specification (resolving the continuous parameters governing how that action is performed). Action selection success was based on whether activation surpassed a threshold. The model robustly differentiated healthy and dopamine-depleted (Parkinsonian) conditions, producing stable action selection under healthy dopamine and impaired, freeze-prone dynamics following depletion. We then modelled DBS as a scaled reduction in afferent drive to the subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus internus. While this formulation has succeeded in previous computational work, it did not yield consistent restoration of action selection within our framework, motivating future investigation of alternative DBS formulations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
