Abstract
We report the case of a patient who had benefited from bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease and who presented acute and reproducible manic behaviour when stimulated mainly in the substantia nigra. A positron emission tomography scan showed an activation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal and inferior temporal cortex, the left anterior cingulate cortex and a deactivation of the left insula. This suggests that changes in cortical activation related to mania are subcortically driven, involving notably the substantia nigra.Entities:
