    Deep brain stimulation is a minimally invasive surgical treatment for Parkinson's disease, primarily targeting the subthalamic nucleus to improve motor functions.

  • 3

    Diffusion tensor imaging and generalized q-sampling imaging are advanced MRI techniques that assess brain microstructural integrity in Parkinson's disease.
