This study is about understanding the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a part of the brain that helps control movement, in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy people. Parkinson's disease is a disorder that affects movement, causing symptoms like shaking and stiffness. Akinesia means difficulty in starting movement. The study looks at how problems with the STN cause akinesia and how stimulating the STN can help with movement in PD patients.
