| Description | Background: The cognitive role of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) remains largely unknown. Methods/Results: A modified protocol with a dual task elicited local field event-related potentials (ERPs) within the STN. No generators of ERPs were elicited by the standard oddball protocol in the STN (at variance with recordings from the putamen, caudate and pallidum). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the right inferior frontal cortex caused a shortening of latencies of ERPs in standard and dual protocols. |
