Modulation of Beta Oscillations in the Subthalamic Nucleus with Prosaccades and Antisaccades in Parkinson's Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Increased oscillations in the beta band are thought to be related to motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous studies have shown that beta-band desynchronization in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is reduced just before and during limb movements. While the STN is part of the basal ganglia (BG)-thalamocortical circuit controlling limb movements, it is also part of the BG-brainstem projection controlling saccadic eye movements. Late-stage PD patients have deficits in saccades in addition to difficulties with limb movements arising from impaired functions of the BG. We investigated saccade-related changes in beta-band (15-30 Hz) oscillatory activities in the human STN while PD patients performed visually guided prosaccades and antisaccades, the latter requiring suppression of reflexive responses and volitional initiation of saccades. We recorded local field potentials from deep brain stimulation electrodes implanted in the STN in human PD patients 1-5 d after surgery and compared prosaccades and antisaccades with these and with limb movements. Saccade-related beta-band desynchronizations were observed just before and during saccades in all subjects, suggesting that reduction of beta-band oscillatory activity in the STN is related to preparation and execution of saccades. Furthermore, beta-band desynchronizations for antisaccades started earlier, were sustained for longer periods, were of greater magnitude, and were observed more often than prosaccades. Beta-band desynchronization in the STN may reflect the additional processes associated with suppression of reflexive responses and volitional execution of saccades in the opposite direction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
