It was in 1865 when Jules Bernard Luys, a French neurologist, described for the first time a biconvex gray structure, located bilaterally at the diencephalic-mesencephalic junction and with essential participation in the control of movements, to which functions were later assigned. additional in limbic and cognitive processes. This structure was initially called Luys's Body, today more commonly called the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) or Subthalamus.
