About this trial
By defining the strength and direction of connectivity patterns at rest and during movement across the basal ganglia-thalamocortical (BGTC) network we will characterize the role of individual circuits in motor performance and cognitive function, paving the way for future development of optimization algorithms for DBS that take advantage of this understanding.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Motor association with pathway activation patterns
associate pathway activation patterns with motor (UPDRS-III) outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments.
Cognitive outcome 1 association with pathway activation pattern
associate pathway activation patterns with cognitive outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments. One primary cognitive outcome measure will be the D-KEFS Letter Fluency test. Another primary cognitive measure will be the Stroop Color Word total score. Secondary measures will include the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II and Apathy Scale total scores.
Cognitive outcome 2 association with pathway activation pattern
associate pathway activation patterns with cognitive outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments. cognitive measure will be the Stroop Color Word total score.
Cognitive outcome 3 association with pathway activation pattern
associate pathway activation patterns with cognitive outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments. cognitive measure will include the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II
