Connectivity of the human pedunculopontine nucleus region and diffusion tensor imaging in surgical targeting.
OBJECT: The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) region of the brainstem has become a new stimulation target for the treatment of gait freezing, akinesia, and postural instability in advanced Parkinson disease (PD). Because PD locomotor symptoms are probably caused by excessive gamma-aminobutyric acidergi...
