Deep Brain Stimulation of the Forel’s Field for Dystonia: Preliminary Results

Deep Brain Stimulation of the Forel’s Field for Dystonia: Preliminary Results

The field of Forel (FF) is a subthalamic area through which the pallidothalamic tracts originating from the globus pallidus internus (GPi) traverse. The FF was used as a stereotactic surgical target (ablation and stimulation) to treat cervical dystonia in the 1960s and 1970s. Although recent studies...
