BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The antiakinetic effect of internal Globus pallidus deep brain stimulation (Gpi-DBS) in Parkinson's disease is not clear and not either how this effect is modulated by L-dopa. METHODS Left Gpi-DBS and/or L-dopa effect was studied with auditory paced right-handed sequential movements on (15)O-butanol positron emission tomography (PET) in five patients. Rest and for conditions during movements (DBS off/L-dopa off; DBS on/L-dopa off; DBS off/L-dopa on; DBS on/L-dopa on) were compared with statistical parametric mapping. RESULTS Gpi-DBS activated the right supplementary motor area/premotor (SMA/PMC), and right insular cortex (IC), and as L-dopa decreased the left sensorimotor cortex (M1/S1) activity. L-dopa increased the left ventrolateral thalamus (VLTH), and decreased the left superior parietal cortex (PC) activity. Gpi-DBS and L-dopa interaction showed right SMA/PMC, IC, and left PC activation, decrease of left VLTH, PMC, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity. CONCLUSIONS The improvement of bradykinesia with Gpi-DBS is secondary and contributed to the regress of M1/S1-related rigidity and compensatory SMA/PMC, and IC activation. L-dopa and Gpi-DBS alone each reduces M1/S1 overactivity. Interaction ignores this effect, moreover has akinetic effect in the left VLTH, PMC, and PFC. Motor improvement possibly related to left PC and compensatory right SMA/PMC, and IC activation.
