In deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson’s disease (PD), there is debate concerning the use of neuroimaging alone to confirm correct anatomic placement of the DBS lead into the STN, versus the use of microelectrode recording (MER) to confirm functional placement...
