Abstract

Stereotaxic interventions for treatment of specific motor disorders provide the opportunity to investigate motor control in alert cooperative human patients. In contrast to the lesions occurring due to cerebrovascular ischemia or due to head injury, the localization and size of stereotaxic lesions can be determined very precisely. Recording and stimulation at a given target point, prior to the lesion, provide physiological information. The effect of the lesion can be explored clinically and physiologically. New developments in neurodiagnostic imaging such as computer-assisted tomography and nuclear mass resonance tomography enable us to identify the lesion postoparatively.
