Phase dependent modulation of tremor amplitude in essential tremor through thalamic stimulation [PDF]
, 2013 High frequency deep brain stimulation of the thalamus can help ameliorate severe essential tremor. Here we explore how the efficacy, efficiency and selectivity of thalamic deep brain stimulation might be improved in this condition.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Disabling “Outflow” Tremors
, 2020 “Outflow” tremors, sometimes referred to in the literature by a variety of terms (outflow, rubral, midbrain, Holmes), are frequently associated with significant disability and are notoriously unresponsive or only partially responsive to medical treatment.

Early Globus Pallidus Internus Stimulation in Pediatric Patients With Generalized Primary Dystonia: Long-Term Efficacy and Safety [PDF]
, 2010 Primary generalized dystonia presents mainly at a young age and commonly is severely disabling. The authors report the long-term follow-up (mean, 73 months; range, 50-101 months) of 5 pediatric patients (mean age at surgery 13 years; range, 8-16 years ...

Deep brain stimulation of different pedunculopontine targets in a novel rodent model of parkinsonism [PDF]
, 2015 The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) has been proposed as a target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in parkinsonian patients, particularly for symptoms such as gait and postural difficulties refractory to dopaminergic treatments.

A brain network for deep brain stimulation induced cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
, 2022 Reich et al. show that DBS-induced cognitive decline is associated with connectivity between the stimulation site and a specific brain network implicated in lesion-induced memory impairment. Transforming this network into a heat map can help identify DBS
