Voice Tremor Response to Deep Brain Stimulation in Relation to Electrode Location in the Posterior Subthalamic AreaDOI: 10.1016/j.wnsx.2019.100024 Keywords: Caudal zona incerta, Deep brain stimulation, Electrode location, Essential tremor, Posterior subthalamic area, Voice tremor AC-PC, Anterior and posterior commissures, cZi, Caudal zona incerta, DBS, Deep brain stimulation, ET, Essential tremor, ICC, Intraclass correlation coefficient, M, Mean, MCP, Mid-commissural point, PSA, Posterior subthalamic area, pSTN, Posterior tail of the subthalamic nucleus, SD, Standard deviation, Vim, Ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus Abstract: Deep brain stimulation of the motor thalamus or the posterior subthalamic area (PSA) shows promising results for patients with voice tremor, although only for about 50% of patients. There are indications that voice tremor requires more focused stimulation within the target area compared with hand tremor. The objective of the present study was to determine the most efficient location for reducing voice tremor within the PSA
