    Abstract:
    The present study was performed to determine the temporal sequence of the response to unilateral MRI/microelectrode-guided pallidotomy of each cardinal symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD). For this purpose, we performed a quantitative assessment of motor functions in 19 patients with PD at several time points up to 6 months following surgery. We here report that although all the motor signs were significantly improved 6 months after pallidotomy, the temporal sequence of tremor response was different from those of other symptoms.
