Abstract
In the present lecture we provide an overview on the electrophysiological procedures (microelectrode recording and intraoperative stimulation) during deep brain stimulation surgery. The technical requirements and the improvements during microelectrode recording will be also discussed. Currently there are conflicting data on the role of microelectrode recording during deep brain stimulation electrode implantation. Whereas, some centers never perform microelectrode recording during DBS surgery, others claim that it may improve the accuracy of electrode implantation and is associated with better outcome and meaningful clinical benefit. On the other hand, some data suggest that microelectrode recording can increase the risk of intraoperative hemorrhage while other data do not support this theory. In the lecture, all of these controversial issues will be covered.
