Summary
This study aims to understand how the brain regulates actions, especially in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will record brain activity from 125 patients during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery while they perform tasks involving decision-making, stopping, and switching actions. The goal is to learn how brain circuits work in Parkinson's and how DBS helps improve movement, but this study does not test a new treatment.
