The Medial Subthalamic Nucleus Border as a New Anatomical Reference in Stereotactic Neurosurgery for Parkinson's Disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Several subcortical structures have been targeted for surgical treatment of dystonia, including motor thalamus, internal segment of globus pallidus (GPi), and more recently, the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Deep brain stimulation of GPi is currently the preferred surgical treatment, but it is unclear if target...
