In this retrospective study, by assuming that the therapeutic impedances were equal to 1 kΩ, we found that the mechanism by which deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) changed the motor laterality in Parkinson's disease (PD) may not be related to the difference in weighted average of the total electrical energy delivered to each side of STN.
