BACKGROUND: Microelectrode recording is an integral part of many surgical procedures for @entity717 . We evaluate the Lead point compared to the NeuroTrek system. We used NeuroTrek in 18 @entity191 @entity1 , Lead point-4 in 12 @entity1 , during @entity9221 -DBS surgery. We compared MR-Stir image with Microelectrode recording. METHOD: The MicroGuide system with its integrated screen display provides the user with all the information needed during the surgery on its screen. Microelectrode recordings showed characteristic neuronal discharges on a long trajectory (5-6 mm), intraoperative stimulation induces dramatic improvement of @entity304 . FINDINGS: Microrecording data of the Leadpoint showed high background activity, and firing rate of 14-50 Hz. The discharge pattern is typically chaotic, with frequent irregular bursts and pauses. DISCUSSION: The microelectrode recording of the neuroTrek and Lead point-4 showed unique results of the typical @entity9221 spike. The DBS effect is maximized associated by MER mapping.
