This trial is looking for people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease who are scheduled for deep brain stimulation surgery. Participants will have their brain activity measured during the surgery to understand cognitive issues relating to Parkinson’s.
You may be able to join if
- I am scheduled for deep brain stimulation surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
- I am over 40 years old.
- I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- I can participate in testing during surgery.
- I speak English.
You may not be able to join if
- I am under 40 years old.
- I cannot participate in testing during surgery.
- I have a movement disorder other than Parkinson's disease.

Check Your EligibilityThe goal of this study is to learn more about the brain activity underlying Parkinson's disease cognitive impairment. The investigators will utilize neural recordings from corticostriatal structures performed during deep brain stimulation surgery to measure neural activity underlying nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
