Background: Acute dyskinesias elicited by STN-DBS, here referred to as stimulation-induced dyskinesias, predict optimal clinical outcome in PD. However, it remains elusive whether stimulation-induced dyskinesias can guide DBS programming.
Objectives: Here, we characterized stimulation-induced dyskinesias clinically and anatomically. We then tested whether dyskinesia-inducing contacts could be effectively programmed using independent current source technology.
Methods: We characterized stimulation-induced dyskinesias with directional and ring stimulation retrospectively in 20 patients. We then localized dyskinesia-inducing contacts by imaging coregistration and eventually programmed those contacts.
Results: We elicited dyskinesias in half of our patients. Dyskinesia-inducing contacts were mainly directional and were all located ventrally within the dorsolateral motor STN. When these dyskinesia-inducing contacts were programmed using independent current source technology, dyskinesia disappeared and robust antibradykinetic effects were obtained.
Conclusion: We confirm that stimulation-induced dyskinesias are helpful clinical observations, which may guide programming of directional STN-DBS in PD. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Introduction: In tremor syndromes, pharmacological therapy is the primary treatment, but deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used when it is insufficient. We explore the use of DBS, focusing on the globus pallidus internus for dystonia and the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) for tremor conditions. We introduce the posterior subthalamic area (PSA) as a potential target, suggesting its efficacy in tremor reduction, particularly in rare tremor syndromes.

Article Synopsis
- * Nine patients with severe OT underwent bilateral Vim/DRT-DBS, resulting in a significant increase in average standing time and improvements in most patients after 18 months, despite initial reports of worsened quality of life (QoL).
- * The findings suggest that while the DBS improved standing time, side effects may be linked to the stimulation of surrounding areas such as the medial lemniscus (ML) and pyramidal tract (PT), leading to some

To report the results of 'responsive' deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Tourette syndrome (TS) in a National Institutes of Health funded experimental cohort. The use of 'brain derived physiology' as a method to trigger DBS devices to deliver trains of electrical stimulation is a proposed approach to address the paroxysmal motor and vocal tic symptoms which appear as part of TS. Ten subjects underwent bilateral staged DBS surgery and each was implanted with bilateral centromedian thalamic (CM) region DBS leads and bilateral M1 region cortical strips.

Background: Thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an efficacious treatment for drug-resistant essential tremor (ET) and the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract (DRT) constitutes an important target structure. However, up to 40% of patients habituate and lose treatment efficacy over time, frequently accompanied by a stimulation-induced cerebellar syndrome. The phenomenon termed delayed therapy escape (DTE) is insufficiently understood.
