A new potential specifically marks the sensory thalamus in anaesthetised patients.
CONCLUSIONS: VHFOs are widely extending and cannot be ascribed to the V.c. HFOs in patients under general anaesthesia can serve as a landmark to identify the V.c. in thalamic DBS surgery.
SIGNIFICANCE: Thalamic processing involves nuclei other than the V.c, and HFO can be used to improve DBS surgery.
