Increased structural connectivity of thalamic stimulation sites to motor cortex relates to tremor suppression

Increased structural connectivity of thalamic stimulation sites to motor cortex relates to tremor suppression

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM-DBS) is a highly successful treatment for medication-refractory essential tremor (ET). Clinical outcomes are dependent on accurate targeting. Here, we aim to develop a framework for connectivity-guided DBS targeting by evaluating...
