Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesize that the emotional and cognitive areas of the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) have distinct electrophysiological properties and that specific stimulation of these areas can influence the mental and the emotional state. Parkinson's disease (PD; n=5) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; n=5) patients that are candidates for treatment with Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) will be recruited over a period of two years. The patients will be enrolled in a prospective, open label, clinical trial and will be followed for one year. No randomization or blinding will be used in this study.
