(a) Illustrates a representative microelectrode recording of a single thalamic cell in the Vim/Vop region, firing at the same frequency as the tremor recorded with the arm-EMG, (b)The bilateral electrode artefacts can be seen in the Vim/Vop region

Tremor cells showed the same frequency as the tremor-induced potentials on the electromyogram (EMG) recorded from the upper extremities and did not show kineto-kinesthetic responses upon passive flexion/extension movements of the hands [Figure 1a]. On the second postoperative day, the patient underwent MRI to evaluate the relative position of the electrodes and to detect (a) symptomatic bleedings or other complications [Figure 1b].
