Abstract

In conclusion, our results suggest that microelectrode recording is a critical technique for electrophysiological localization of the target in treating PD. The tremor-related neuronal activity and movement-related neuronal activity recorded from STN are responsible for the clinical parkinsonian symptoms, suggesting that STN plays an important role in the pathophysiology of PD.
