Abstract
Electrical stimulation of deep brain nuclei is a well-stablished technique for the treatment of movement disorders, when refractory to medical management. In its early beginnings, functional neurosurgery relied in stereotactic atlases and intraoperative micro-registration in awake patients to achieve correct electrode placement (indirect method). However, the cumulative experience on target description and the evolution of MRI resolution have made it possible to accurately define the target preoperatively (direct method).
