Bilateral functional connectivity of the basal ganglia in patients with Parkinson's disease and its modulation by dopaminergic treatment. by Simon Little, Huiling Tan, Anam Anzak, Alek Pogosyan, Andrea Kühn, Peter Brown

“…The absolute mean values of amplitude co-modulation (0.40 ± 0.03) and phase synchronisation (0.29 ± 0.02) off medication were, however, relatively low, suggesting that the two basal ganglia networks may have to be approached separately with independent sensing and stimulation during adaptive deep brain stimulation. In addition, our findings highlight the functional distinction between the lower and upper beta frequency ranges and between amplitude co-modulation and phase synchronization across subthalamic nuclei.…”
