Abstract
Cortical information has great importance to reflect the deep brain stimulation (DBS) effects for Parkinson’s disease patients. Using cortical activities to feedback is an available closed-loop idea for DBS. Previous studies have demonstrated the pathological beta (12–35 Hz) cortical oscillations can be suppressed by appropriate DBS settings. Thus, here we propose to close the loop of DBS based on the beta oscillations in cortex. By modify the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic neural loop model, more biologically realistic underlying the Parkinsonian phenomenon is approached. Stimulation results show the proposed closed-loop DBS strategy using cortical beta oscillation as feedback information has more profound roles in alleviating the pathological neural abnormality than the traditional open-loop DBS. Additionally, we compare the stimulation effects with subthalamic nucleus feedback strategy. It is shown that using cortical beta information as the feedback signals can further enlarge the control parameter space based on proportional-integral control structure with a lower energy expenditure. This work may pave the way to optimizing the DBS effects in a closed-loop arrangement.
