Oswal et al . characterise the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on STN–cortical synchronisation in Parkinson–s disease. They propose that cortical driving of the STN in beta frequencies is subdivided anatomically and spectrally, corresponding to the hyperdirect and indirect pathways. DBS predominantly suppresses the former.
