Study shows that activity in the subthalamic nucleus reflects action outcomes and consequent adaptation in humans; this can be modified through bursts of electrical stimulation, with potential to restore healthy brain function in people with neurological

Caption

In this study Herz et al. show that adaptive behaviour in humans can be facilitated by applying temporally patterned bursts of electrical stimulation to the subthalamic nucleus.
