Abstract
In the course of stereotacic thalamotomy for treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, post-traumatic tremor, other kinds of tremor, dystonia, choreic movement, etc., we always use microrecording to determine the precise target to be coagulated (Ohye, 1994; 1996). While depth recording is useful for targeting, it also provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into the ongoing pathophysiological changes of neuronal activity in the human thalamus (Ohye et al., 1989; Ohye, 1997).
