Frequency-dependent motor thalamus DBS effects on speech and swallowing

• Motor thalamus deep brain stimulation (DBS) has frequency-dependent effects on speech and swallowing.¹
• The work appears in Nature Communications under the neuroscience subject area.¹
• The study maps how motor-thalamus DBS frequency changes speech and swallowing outcomes in clinical neuromodulation.¹
• Results are positioned to inform stimulation parameter design for implanted interfaces.¹
• Findings also speak to side-effect tradeoffs when tuning DBS frequency in motor thalamus targets.^{1 1}
