Investigating Inhibitory Control Networks in Parkinson's Disease
The purpose of this study is to investigate the brain activity associated with non-motor symptoms of movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. These movement disorders commonly have significant non-motor features also, including depression, cognitive impairment, decreased attention, and slower processing speeds. The investigators are interested in the brain activity associated with these symptoms, and perform recordings of the surface of the brain, in addition to the typical recordings the investigators perform, during routine deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
• Eligible for surgery based on multi-disciplinary consensus review
• Have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or Essential Tremor
• Have a diagnosis of medically-refractory movement disorder (Parkinson's disease, Essential Tremor, or dystonia)
• Willingness to participate in the paradigms described in the protocol
