Journal ArticleDOI

A high resolution and high contrast MRI for differentiation of subcortical structures for DBS targeting: the Fast Gray Matter Acquisition T1 Inversion Recovery (FGATIR).

TL;DR: A Fast Gray Matter Acquisition T1 Inversion Recovery (FGATIR) 3T MRI sequence is employed to more reliably visualize DBS structures and provides significantly better high resolution thin slice visualization of DBS targets than does either standard 3T T1 or T2-weighted imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain Penetration Effects of Microelectrodes and DBS Leads in STN or GPi

TL;DR: Significant acute intraoperative penetration effects resulting from MER and lead placement/collision in PD are demonstrated and Clinicians rating patients in the operating suite should be aware of these effects, and should consider pre- and post-lead placement rating scales prior to activating DBS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pearls in Patient Selection for Deep Brain Stimulation

TL;DR: Diagnosis, response to levodopa, cognitive status, psychiatric status, access to care, and patient expectations are all essential elements of the patient selection process for DBS and must be adequately addressed prior to any surgical procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crosstalk between p38, Hsp25 and Akt in spinal motor neurons after sciatic nerve injury.

TL;DR: Observations implicate Hsp25 as a central player in a complex system of signaling that may both promote regeneration of nerve fibers and prevent neuronal cell death in the injured spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI

De novo and rescue DBS leads for refractory Tourette syndrome patients with severe comorbid OCD: a multiple case report

TL;DR: The Tourette patients with persistent obsessive-compulsive disorder following ventralis oralis/centromedianus-parafascicularis (Vo/CM-Pf) deep brain stimulation were explored and the effects observed were less than expected.
