Neurophysiology of Reward Signaling in Parkinson's Disease

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Conditions: Parkinson Disease

Interventions: Neurophysiology recordings, Neural stimulation

Countries: United States

The goal of this study is to learn more about the brain activity underlying Parkinson's disease risk taking and reward seeking behaviors. The investigators will utilize neural recordings from corticostriatal structures performed during deep brain stimulation surgery to measure neural activity underlying nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
