Objective: Medically refractory trigeminal neuralgia can be treated by microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve, by ablative percutaneous treatments such as thermocoagulation, glycerol/alcohol injection and balloon compression of the Gasserian ganglion or, far less invasive, by radiosurgery[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 71.

Objective: The globus pallidus internus (GPi) is the final output relay of the basal ganglia for the control of movements but has also been shown to belong to a second pathway projecting to the lateral habenula. This latter pathway is related to reward processing. This prompted us to record, in eight[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 68.

Objective: The globus pallidus internus (GPi) is regarded as an established and safe target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in dystonia. Recent reports on the occurrence of bradykinetic symptoms like freezing, postural instability and micrographia after chronic DBS of the GPi in patients with dystonia[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 67.

Objective: Deficient sensorimotor gating induced by dopamine receptor agonists is used as an endophenotype for certain neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Tourette's syndrome (TS), schizophrenia, and attention deficit disorders.

Objective: The development of bacterial biofilm on the surface of any implanted device may be associated with infection close to the implants necessitating device removal. This study aimed to identify specifically the DNA of bacterial biofilm on neurostimulation systems using polymerase chain reaction[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 66.

Objective: To determine the risk of short-term and long-term infection in patients with chronic neuropathic pain after externalisation of thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes for test stimulation to select candidates for chronic stimulation. Method: The study is a retrospective chart [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 66. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC)

Objective: Attentive monitoring of the environment is fundamental for efficient detection of relevant stimuli and is well investigated for cortical regions. However, subcortical network circuitry and the involvement of these structures in the context of detection of relevant stimuli, involuntary attention[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 66.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic region and nucleus ventralis intermedius on postural and kinetic components of dystonic tremor. Method: Sequential interleaved monopolar stimulation of the nucleus subthalamicus (STN) and nucleus ventralis intermedius[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 66.

Objective: The globus pallidus internus (GPi) has been established as the contemporary target of choice for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in dystonia. The thalamic Vim, however, has been preferred in patients with writer's cramp. When a patient presents with both writer's cramp and other dystonic[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 66.

Objective: Pulsatile tinnitus (PT) usually suggests a vascular etiology ranging from dural arteriovenous fistulae (dAVF), intracranial aneurysms and vascular tumors of the temporal bone and cerebello-pontine angle (CPA). Vascular compression of the eighth cranial nerve (CN VIII) may be an additional[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 64. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC)

Objective: To evaluate the long-term effect of thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a series of patients with severe tremor due to multiple sclerosis. DBS of the thalamic VIM has been shown to improve tremor in patients suffering from various tremor disorders. The issue of DBS in patients with tremor[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 63.

Objective: Sensorimotor gating is disturbed in certain neuropsychiatric disorders with known or proposed abnormalities of basal ganglia function such as schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder and Tourette's syndrome.
