abstract = {The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) is engaged in posture
and gait control, and neuronal degeneration in the PPN has
been associated with Parkinsonian disorders. Clinical
outcomes of deep brain stimulation of the PPN in idiopathic
Parkinson's disease (IPD) and progressive supranuclear palsy
(PSP) differ, and we investigated whether the PPN is
differentially affected in these conditions. We had the rare
opportunity to record continuous electrophysiological data
intraoperatively in 30 s blocks from single microelectrode
contacts implanted in the PPN in six PSP patients and three
IPD patients during rest, passive movement, and active
movement. Neuronal spikes were sorted according to shape
using a wavelet-based clustering approach to enable
comparisons between individual neuronal firing rates in the
two disease states. The action potential widths showed a
bimodal distribution consistent with previous findings,
suggesting spikes from noncholinergic (likely glutamatergic)
and cholinergic neurons. A higher PPN spiking rate of narrow
action potentials was observed in the PSP than in the IPD
patients when pooled across all three conditions (Wilcoxon
rank sum test: p = 0.0141). No correlation was found
between firing rate and disease severity or duration. The
firing rates were higher during passive movement than rest
and active movement in both groups, but the differences
between conditions were not significant. PSP and IPD are
believed to represent distinct disease processes, and our
findings that the neuronal firing rates differ according to
disease state support the proposal that pathological
processes directly involving the PPN may be more pronounced
in PSP than IPD.},
