Several recent publications have stated that the use of microelectrode recording (MER)
during pallidotomy or deep brain stimulation (DBS) contributes to decreasing risks and side …

There is an ongoing controversy about whether it is necessary to use microelectrode
recording (MER) techniques in stereotactic surgery for Parkinson's disease and other …

Digital and print brain atlases have been used with success to help in the planning of
neurosurgical interventions. In this paper, a technique presented for the creation of a brain …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and antiparkinsonian

Object. Small, asymptomatic hemorrhages are easier to detect during stereotactic surgery
when magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is used for targeting rather than when traditional …

In isolated, sporadic dystonia, it has been occasionally reported that some patients might
undergo symptom remission. However, the exact clinical characteristics of patients with …

Pre-operative magnetic resonance (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) image volumes
