[HTML][HTML] A randomized trial of deep-brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease

…, A Reuß, GH Schneider, A Schnitzler… - … England Journal of …, 2006 - Mass Medical Soc
Background Neurostimulation of the subthalamic nucleus reduces levodopa-related motor
complications in advanced Parkinson's disease. We compared this treatment plus medication …

Dynamic imaging of coherent sources: studying neural interactions in the human brain

…, L Timmermann, A Schnitzler… - Proceedings of the …, 2001 - National Acad Sciences
Functional connectivity between cortical areas may appear as correlated time behavior of
neural activity. It has been suggested that merging of separate features into a single percept (“…

Normal and pathological oscillatory communication in the brain

A Schnitzler, J Gross - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2005 - nature.com
The huge number of neurons in the human brain are connected to form functionally specialized
assemblies. The brain's amazing processing capabilities rest on local communication …

The cerebral oscillatory network of parkinsonian resting tremor

…, J Gross, M Dirks, J Volkmann, HJ Freund, A Schnitzler - Brain, 2002 - academic.oup.com
Data from experiments in MPTP monkeys as well as from invasive and non‐invasive recordings
in patients with Parkinson’s disease suggest an abnormal synchronization of neuronal …

Distinct oscillatory STN-cortical loops revealed by simultaneous MEG and local field potential recordings in patients with Parkinson's disease

…, CJ Hartmann, J Vesper, L Wojtecki, A Schnitzler - Neuroimage, 2011 - Elsevier
Neuronal oscillations are assumed to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's
disease (PD). Neurons in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) generate oscillations which are …

[HTML][HTML] Pallidal deep-brain stimulation in primary generalized or segmental dystonia

…, M Krause, V Tronnier, A Schnitzler… - … England Journal of …, 2006 - Mass Medical Soc
Background Neurostimulation of the internal globus pallidus has been shown to be effective
in reducing symptoms of primary dystonia. We compared this surgical treatment with sham …

Modulation of long-range neural synchrony reflects temporal limitations of visual attention in humans

J Gross, F Schmitz, I Schnitzler… - Proceedings of the …, 2004 - National Acad Sciences
Because of attentional limitations, the human visual system can process for awareness and
response only a fraction of the input received. Lesion and functional imaging studies have …

Neuropsychological and psychiatric changes after deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease: a randomised, multicentre study

…, M Krause, V Tronnier, M Kloss, A Schnitzler… - The Lancet …, 2008 - thelancet.com
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) reduces motor
symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and improves their quality of life; …

Critical flicker frequency for quantification of low-grade hepatic encephalopathy

G Kircheis, M Wettstein, L Timmermann, A Schnitzler… - Hepatology, 2002 - Elsevier
Subclinical hepatic encephalopathy (SHE) is currently diagnosed by psychometric tests or
neurophysiologic techniques. In view of its sociomedical relevance, simple and reproducible …

Long‐term results of a multicenter study on subthalamic and pallidal stimulation in Parkinson's disease

…, AL Tornqvist, R Ekberg, A Schnitzler… - Movement …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We report the 5 to 6 year follow‐up of a multicenter study of bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN)
