The modulation of brain function via the application of weak direct current was first observed
directly in the early 19th century. In the past 3 decades, transcranial magnetic stimulation …

Background: Deep brain stimulation has become an established technology for the
treatment of patients with a wide variety of conditions, including movement disorders …

The thalamus and its nuclei are largely indistinguishable on standard T1 or T2 weighted
MRI. While diffusion tensor imaging based methods have been proposed to segment the …

The ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus is an established surgical target for
stereotactic ablation and deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of tremor in …

Novel MR image acquisition strategies have been investigated to elicit contrast within the
thalamus, but direct visualization of individual thalamic nuclei remains a challenge because …

Advances in computational neuroimaging techniques have expanded the armamentarium of
imaging tools available for clinical applications in clinical neuroscience. Non-invasive, in …

Objective With a growing appreciation for interindividual anatomical variability and patient‐
specific brain connectivity, advanced imaging sequences offer the opportunity to directly …

The clinical benefits of targeting the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) for the treatment of
tremors in essential tremor (ET) patients suggest that the VIM is a key hub in the network of …

Objective The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of the stimulation site relative to
the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract (DRTT) on the alleviation of tremor in deep brain stimulation …

To analyze and compare direct and indirect targeting of the Vim for MRgFUS thalamotomy.
We retrospectively evaluated 21 patients who underwent unilateral MRgFUS Vim ablation …
