Parallel Session 3410

New Advances in Deep Brain Stimulation

Tuesday, October 6, 2026
14:30 - 16:00 | Auditorium, Level 3

The faculty will present the latest advances in basal ganglia stimulation for Parkinson’s disease, within the framework of personalized medicine based on the most recent physiological and anatomical findings.

Chairs:

Marcelo Merello, Argentina
Elena Moro, France

Presenters:

Optimizing Deep Brain Stimulation: Directional Targeting of Basal Ganglia Territories
Hikaru Kamo, Japan

Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation: Bridging Physiology and Personalized Care in DBS
Gerd Tinkhauser, Switzerland

CSPC Liaison(s):

Maria Rodriguez-Oroz, Spain

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be better able to:

  1. Recognize anatomo-functional organization of the basal ganglia, assess effects of selective stimulation within each circuit, and identify strategies to minimize side effects
  2. Understand the basal ganglia physiologology underlying the variable and diurnal clinical features of Parkinson's disease and their modulation with adaptive deep brain stimulation
  3. Describe the concept of the connectome and how this may be relevant to image-based targeting of symptoms
