What is subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation linked with?
2Studies link subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation with 2 measures: ambulation and survival.

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation is associated with ambulation in humans (Parkinson's disease; both electrodes located within the subthalamic nucleus).
“The patient group with both electrodes located within the STN showed a higher rate of survival and maintained ambulation.”
