Low frequency brain stimulation improves cognition in Parkinson's disease

(University of Iowa Health Care) A multidisciplinary neuroscience study using rare, intraoperative brain recordings suggests that low frequency stimulation of a deep brain region may be able to improve cognitive function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study by researchers with the Iowa Neuroscience Institute at the University of Iowa and published in the journal Brain, also hints at the broader potential of brain stimulation for treating other cognitive diseases.
