Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring for deep brain stimulation : principles, practice, and cases

Montgomery Jr., Erwin B.,

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring for deep brain stimulation : principles, practice, and cases [E-Book] - 1 online resource (417 pages) : illustrations, forms

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Importance of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring -- Preparations for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring -- Basic concepts of electricity and electronics -- Electrode recordings : neurophysiology -- Microelectrode and semi-microelectrode recordings : electronics -- Noise and artifact -- Microelectrode recordings : neuronal characteristics and behavioral correlations -- Microstimulation and macrostimulation -- The subthalamic nucleus -- The globus pallidus interna nucleus -- The ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus -- Clinical assessments during intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring -- Cases -- Future intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.

Thorough understanding of electricity, electronics, biophysics, neurophysiology, and neuroanatomy renders more tractable otherwise complex electrophysiologically-based targeting. The textbook integrates these subjects in a single resource. Ultimately, electrophysiological monitoring required controlling the movement of electrons in electronic circuits. Thus, the textbook begins with fundamental discussions of electrons, the forces moving electrons, and the electrical circuits controlling these forces.
