Preoperative pallidal-subthalamic nucleus resting-state functional connectivity predicts motor benefit from deep brain stimulation, although this should be validated prospectively before clinical application. These observations suggest that integrity of pallidal-subthalamic nucleus circuits may be critical to motor benefits from deep brain stimulation. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
