Striking the right balance: cortical modulation of the subthalamic nucleus-globus pallidus circuit

Abstract

The subthalamic nucleus-globus pallidus network is a potential source of oscillations in Parkinson's disease, but the mechanism is unknown. In this issue of Neuron, Chu et al. (2015) present a cortically driven form of heterosynaptic plasticity that could promote oscillatory activity after dopamine depletion.
