Abstract Introduction Parkinson’s disease is characterized, in part, by hypoactivity of both direct pathway inhibitory projections from striatum to the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and indirect externus (GPe) subthalamic nucleus (STN), giving rise disrupted basal ganglia circuit activity. In this study, we explored use intracranial stimulation for eliciting long-term potentiation (LTP) each these pathologically underactive restoration dynamics amelioration motor symptoms. Methods Data were collected a total 31 people with (42 hemispheres). During deep brain (DBS) surgery, assessed microelectrode stimulation-induced changes evoked field potentials (fEP) hand kinematics before versus after 40-second train high-frequency (HFS) GPi (n = 7, 11 sites at 100 Hz) STN 10, 14 Hz; n 4, 7 180 Hz). Additionally, beta oscillations chronic DBS implants 6 125 4 Results Intraoperatively, increases fEP amplitude (p 0.002) improved performance 0.003) observed Hz HFS GPi; while STN, did not potentiate fEPs 0.589) or improve 0.460) (similar results yielded STN). Similarly, extraoperative GPi-DBS produced suppression power (p=0.096) improvement 0.077) STN-DBS significantly affect 0.267) (p=0.850). Interpretation Our findings support that LTP-like effects may produce improvements extend beyond cessation, aligning optogenetic studies showing long-lasting recovery through periodic D1-striatal activation rodents. The lack suggests paradigms require optimization effective LTP induction. These nevertheless highlight potential LTP-based strategies sustained therapeutic benefits disease, warranting further investigation into optimizing efficacy side effect profiles.
