Highlights
Directional DBS of the DRTT and the zona incerta is correlated with tremor suppression.
Activation patterns for tremor suppression and side effects involve mostly the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract and the zona incerta.
Concomitant side effects often limit the therapeutic window of directional deep brain stimulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
