  • Title: Effective response evoked by microstimulation of thalamus nuclei in patients with tremor.
    Author: Lin YC, Lenz FA.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1993 May; 106(5):372-4. PubMed ID: 8404281.
    Abstract:
    459 microstimulations were done in 10 patients with tremor. The motor evoked response with reduction tremor drive was observed at 38 sites, of which 30 (79%) were noted in ventrointermedialis (vim) nuclei, and 5 (13.2%) in ventrocaudalis (vc) nuclei, 2 in ventroralis posterior (vop) nuclei, 1 in dorsal thalamus (dth). No increased tremor drive response was noted in all the sites. Paresthesia was the most common response (47.1%). Except pain at 1 site in vc nuclei, warm/cold and vertigo were noted in vop, vim, vc nuclei. No responses accounted for 43.8%.
