Deep brain stimulation has local effects on the target structure, but also global effects via distributed brain networks. Horn et al. show that modulating the activity of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with Parkinson’s disease normalizes signatures of widespread network connectivity towards those found in healthy controls.
