Original lecture slide 5 comparing STN, GPi and VIM/DRT targets

THE TARGET FOLLOWS THE PHENOTYPE

  • STN
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Bradykinesia
  • Rigidity
  • Tremor
  • Fluctuation
  • Medication reduction
  • GPi
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Dyskinesia
  • Dystonia
  • Motor symptoms
  • Flexibility in meds
  • VIM / DRT
  • Essential tremor
  • Tremor-dominant phenotypes
  • Tremor
  • Tremor syndromes
  • Pathway based targeting
  • TARGET ≠ DIAGNOSIS
  • Target = phenotype + symptom priority + patient factors + surgical strategy

THREE-TARGET ANATOMICAL INFOGRAPHIC

Real clinical image required

Image typeSchematic / diagram
DescriptionSimplified brain cross-section showing STN, GPi and VIM with subtle pale-blue target highlights; neighbouring structures labelled only where anatomically accurate.
Clinical purposeGive the three targets an anatomical location before stereotactic planning is introduced.
Suggested sourceConceptual anatomical diagram in the NEUROFLOW palette — clearly conceptual.

CORONAL BASAL GANGLIA ANATOMY

Real clinical image required

Image typeClinical MRI
DescriptionHigh-resolution anatomical MRI or atlas section showing STN, GPi, thalamus, internal capsule and substantia nigra.
Clinical purposeAnchor target discussion in real sectional anatomy rather than schematic approximation.
Suggested sourceProperly licensed stereotactic atlas or peer-reviewed publication.

VIM / THALAMIC ANATOMY

Real clinical image required

Image typeVIM anatomy
DescriptionAtlas section showing VIM relative to VPL, VPM, internal capsule and the subthalamic region.
Clinical purposeClarify why VIM stimulation side effects follow neighbouring thalamic and capsular anatomy.
Suggested sourceAuthoritative stereotactic atlas or appropriately sourced anatomical image.
