MICROELECTRODE RECORDING
- Physiological confirmation — not a substitute for anatomical planning
- DEPTH
- CORTEX
- WHITE MATTER
- STN ENTRY
- STN
- STN EXIT
- SCHEMATIC MER TRACE
- Higher / denser neuronal activity in the STN segment
- WHAT MER ADDS
- Physiology
- Nuclear boundaries
- Confidence in target
- WHAT MER DOESN'T
- It does not guarantee that the final implanted lead is optimal.
- Replace schematic with your institutional MER trace for the live lecture.
- MER literature and contemporary awake/asleep DBS workflows.
