This document discusses using diffusion MRI (dMRI) to investigate deep brain stimulation (DBS) and locate the subthalamic nucleus (STN). It describes how DBS involves implanting electrodes in specific brain regions to disable parts of the brain. dMRI techniques like DTI and HARDI are used to visualize white matter connections and better locate the STN by subdividing it into motor, limbic and associative parts based on neurological pathways. Postmortem brains are scanned with high-resolution 3T and 9.4T MRI to acquire diffusion images of small cubes around the STN to further explore its connectivity.

circuits. Associative circuit: the two associative circuits are the dorsolateral prefrontal circuit (DPC) and lateral orbitofrontal circuit (LOC), which are initiated from
the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPC), and lateral orbitofrontal cortex (LOFC), respectively. The second station is the dorsolateral head and the rostrocaudal axis
of the caudate nucleus. From here, this circuit is directed to the dorsomedial part of the GPi and to the rostral region of the SNr and to the anterior parts of the GPe. The
GPi and SNr project to the VA and CM nuclei of the thalamus and the DPC is closed by the thalamocortical pathway back to the DLPC and the LOC back to the LOFC.
This pathway is also known as the direct pathway. From the GPe, a projection to the STN and GPi/SNr exists. This pathway is also known as the indirect pathway. The
STN is anatomically connected with both direct, through its projection to the GPi and SNr, and indirect pathway, through its projection to the GPe. Limbic circuit:
projections from the hippocampus, the amygdala, limbic and paralimbic cortices are primarily concentrated at the level of the ventral striatum. The ventral striatum
consists basically of the nucleus accumbens, ventromedial part of the caudate-putamen and the medium-celled portion of the olfactory tubercle. The ventral striatum
projects in turn to the ventral pallidum (VP). From here the limbic circuit is directed to the MD nucleus of the thalamus. This circuit is closed by a thalamocortical
pathway to the anterior cingulated area and medial orbitofrontal cortex. The STN has reciprocal connections with the ventral pallidum. The ventral pallidum is](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/nfbibplatel-090910125708-phpapp01/85/Bram-Platel-14-320.jpg)

considered to be the major limbic circuit output region. Modulation of the STN neuronal discharge directly influences the activity of both NMDA and non-NMDA
expressing neurons in the VP. Within this concept of the limbic circuit, the STN again has a pivotal role as it is directly connected with the output of this circuit. Motor
circuit: the cortical input to the motor circuit originates mainly from the primary motor, premotor and somatosensory areas. This somatotopic glutamatergic input is
largely directed to the putamen, which projects topographically to the motor parts (ventrolateral (VL) and posterior) of the GPe and GPi and the SNr. From the GPe, a
pathway projects to the STN. The STN mainly projects to the GPi and SNr. The SNr and the GPi serve as the output nuclei of the basal ganglia. The thalamic areas
involved in the motor circuit are mainly the VL, ventroanterior (VA) and the centromedian nucleus (CM). This loop is closed by means of the thalamic projection
(glutamatergic) to the cortical areas.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/nfbibplatel-090910125708-phpapp01/85/Bram-Platel-15-320.jpg)
