Summary
Brief summary
The posterior subthalamic area holds promise as a target region for deep brain stimulation in
tremor and Parkinson's disease. Using the magnetic resonance-directed implantable guide tube
surgical technique, subregions of the posterior subthalamic area can be individually
targetted on a single electrode lead trajectory. The hypothesis is that the caudal zona
incerta may provide improved control of movement disorder symptoms than the more commonly
stimulated dorsal zona incerta.
