Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation and Dopaminergic Medication on Excitatory and Inhibitory Spinal Pathways in Parkinson Disease

Conclusions: The present pilot study demonstrates that the recruitment of early inhibition and late facilitation is disrupted in untreated Parkinson disease and that medication and deep brain stimulation may act together to normalize supraspinal drive to the motor neuron pool.
