Increased neuronal activity in the internal pallidum (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been clearly demonstrated in Parkinsonian models, and the two structures have thus been selected as therapeutic targets for functional neurosurgery. High-frequency electrical stimulation of the GPi or the STN improves the parkinsonian symptoms but also dyskinesias directly by GPi stimulation or indirectly by reduction of L-Dopa associated with STN stimulation. According to Alexander's model of the organisation of the basal ganglia, electrical stimulation of GPi or STN should have led to uncontrolled hyperkinesia. This apparent paradox could be explained on one hand by the involvement of different anatomo-functional areas within these structures and on the other by spatial and temporal changes in neuronal discharge patterns in the basal ganglia which in turn produce variations in synchronisation.
