The authors conclude that thalamotomy and thalamic stimulation are effective treatments for patients with severe tremors. |
These projection fibers consist largely of ascending fibers of the thalamic radiation and descending corticofugal fibers. |
An electrode is inserted into the brain to stimulate either the thalamic nuclei or the subthalamic nuclei. |
Computed tomography of the brain demonstrated an area of low attenuation in the left thalamic region. |
During sustained hypoxia, increased thalamic gating may decrease respiratory sensory projections to higher centers. |
Affective and motivational dimensions of pain were proposed as mediated by medial thalamic nuclei, the prefrontal cortex, and the limbic system. |
