Abstract: A large scale computational model of the basal ganglia (BG) network is proposed to describes movement disorder including deep brain stimulation (DBS). The model of this complex network considers four areas of the basal ganglia network: the subthalamic nucleus (STN) as target area of DBS, globus pallidus, both pars externa and pars interna (GPe-GPi), and the thalamus (THA). Parkinsonian conditions are simulated by assuming reduced dopaminergic input and corresponding pronounced inhibitory or disinhibited projections to GPe and GPi. Macroscopic quantities can be derived which correlate closely to thalamic responses and hence motor programme fidelity. It can be demonstrated that depending on different levels of striatal projections to the GPe and GPi, the dynamics of these macroscopic quantities switch from normal conditions to parkinsonian. Simulating DBS on the STN affects the dynamics of the entire network, increasing the thalamic activity to levels close to normal, while differing from both normal and parkinsonian dynamics. Using the mentioned macroscopic quantities, the model proposes optimal DBS frequency ranges above 130 Hz.
