Differential value processing in the rostral and causal subthalamic nucleus during flexible and habitual decision-making in primates: Implications for cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a major target region of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD), effectively alleviating motor symptoms. However, STN-DBS can also induce cognitive impairments, suggesting that the STN contributes to cognitive functions beyond simple motor control. Furthermore, anatomical organization supports functional segregation of cognitive processes, as…
