This procedure brings us the unique opportunity to deepen in the knowledge of PD¡¯s physiopathology by recording patients¡¯ neural activity, and possibly in the future it will let us select the appropriate target and the optimal chronic stimulation pattern. %K Parkinson¡¯s Disease %K Functional Neurosurgery %K Oscillatory Activity %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=35034
