Summary
This study used a special brain imaging technique called HD-DOT to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal was to learn why DBS helps movement but can also cause mood or thinking side effects. The study involved 49 participants, including people with Parkinson's who have DBS implants and healthy volunteers. No new treatments were tested; the focus was on gathering knowledge to improve future DBS therapy.
