Our findings show that in VC/VS stimulation, the neural network associated with clinical outcome shows overlap with that of previously described for other targets namely the anterior limb of the internal capsula, the nucleus accumbens, or the STN, which supports the evolvement from the concept of an optimal gray matter target to conceiving the target as part of a symptom modulating network.
