Summary

This study aims to improve deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease by using detailed maps of the brain's wiring. Researchers will test if targeting specific brain pathways can better control tremor while avoiding side effects like involuntary movements. The study involves 20 people who already have a DBS implant, using smartphone sensors to track their symptoms.
