Description
Stanisław Szlufik and co-authors hunt brain scan signs that predict thinking changes after deep brain stimulation in a 2025 study. The treatment eases Parkinson movement symptoms but can dull some mental skills. Thirty-eight patients took thinking tests and MRI scans before surgery and again within two years after.
Decline clustered in language: word fluency and object naming fell clearly, while memory, attention, and overall cognition held. Wider fluid spaces in the brain, the lateral ventricles, tracked with worse results across several domains. One left-brain width measure also linked to outcomes. The authors say simple ruler measures on routine scans could help select patients and counsel them before surgery.
