Cohort Demographics and Clinical Outcomes.

Cohort No. (female) Age, years Disease duration, years MDS-UPDRS-III Pre-op baseline UPDRS-III Post-op baseline (MDS-) UPDRS-III DBS-on Med-off
Training 15 (2) 62.4±6.2 12.8±4.8 40.6±8.8 23.3±8.7
Test 19 (7) 55.5±5.7 9.8±3.4 43.3±9.4 22.3±9.6

The training cohort was evaluated according to UPRDS-III (Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale, motor examination), and MDS-UPDRS-III (movement Disorder Society sponsored revision) was used in the test cohort; the scores are linearly dependent. Mean values±standard deviations are reported. In the test cohort, baseline (off medication, DBS-off) was assessed preoperatively and in the training cohort at least 6 months after surgery. For each patient in the training cohort two stimulation protocols were documented:21.5±8.8and25.1±8.3, respectively, with the score difference over the cohort3.6±7.3. Note that despite the age difference between the cohorts (t  = 3.26, p  < 0.01), there was no significant difference in gray matter-to-brain ratio (t =0.22, p  = 0.82), computed based on segmentations in native space.
