Neurophysiology of Reward Signaling in Parkinson's Disease
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
75 participants
Sep 1, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.

- Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or other movement disorder
- Able to participate in intraoperative testing
- English speaking
Exclusion Criteria2
- Age less than 40
- Not able to participate in intraoperative testing (for example unable to comprehend instructions or follow directions)
