Connectomic surgery: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography as a targeting modality for surgical modulation of neural networks

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is being used to treat a growing number of neurological disorders. Until recently, DBS has been thought to act mainly by suppressing local neuronal activity, essentially producing a functional lesion. Numerous studies are now demonstrating that DBS has widespread network...
