A manuscript by Thomas and colleagues investigating auditory processing in Parkinson’s disease was just published by the International Journal of Neural Systems. They report a pathological effect of Parkinson’s disease on auditory steady state responses at varying frequencies. Their results further indicate that subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) contributes to counteracting this pathological effect.
