## TL;DR

A study found that deep brain stimulation does not change brain connectivity in essential tremor patients, offering new understanding of the treatment's effects.

## Contribution

The study reveals that deep brain stimulation does not modulate resting-state functional connectivity in essential tremor.

## Key findings

- Deep brain stimulation does not alter resting-state functional connectivity in essential tremor patients.
- The findings challenge assumptions about how deep brain stimulation affects brain networks.

## Abstract

This scientific commentary refers to ‘Deep brain stimulation does not modulate resting-state functional connectivity in essential tremor’, by Awad et al. (https://doi.org/10.1093/braincomms/fcae012).
