abstract="At present, subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation is the preferred procedure for the amelioration of motor symptoms in medication refractory Parkinson's disease. <br><br>RESULTS are however impaired by negative impacts on mood, cognition, incentive, and social judgment. Alternative targets are therefore explored. We describe a case with stimulation of subthalamic fibre tracts that showed clear improvement of cognitive and social abilities. Avoiding the STN may be advantageous in progressive Parkinson's disease to avoid non-motor complications and enhance quality of life.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
