Deep brain stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor centre induces stimulation-dependent behavioural states beyond locomotion
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) has been explored to treat gait disturbances. However, clinical outcomes of MLR-DBS have been disappointing overall, with only modest benefits in some individuals and unwanted effects, including anxiety, reported in others. Preclinical studies in...
