RETRACTED: Mechanism(s) of deep brain stimulation and insights into cognitive outcomes in Parkinson's disease

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor and one of the authors in recognition that the authors have plagiarized parts of papers that had already appeared in other publications, including: Trends Neurosci., 28 [2005] 209–216, doi:10.1016/j.tins.2005.02.005, Mov. Disord., 21/S14 [2006] S305–S327, doi:10.1002/mds.20963, Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 29 [2006] 229–257, doi:10.1146/annurev.neuro.29.051605.112824.

One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
