Summary

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects the ability to stop actions in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure brain waves and behavior during impulse control tasks before, during, and after DBS surgery. The goal is to understand how stimulation location and strength influence brain circuits involved in self-control. About 80 participants will take part, including healthy volunteers for comparison.
