Propofol Anesthesia Precludes LFP-Based Functional Mapping of Pallidum during DBS Implantation

Conclusion: GPi and GPe are distinguishable using LFP spectral profiles in the awake condition. Propofol obliterates this spectral differentiation. Therefore, LFP spectra cannot be relied upon in the propofol-anesthetized state for functional mapping during DBS implantation.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg
