Role of Microelectrode Recording in Deep Brain Stimulation of  the Pedunculopontine Nucleus: A Physiological Study of Two Cases

ConclusionsEstimation of stimulation site within the PPN is possible by combining physiological guidance using MER and MRI findings. The PPN is a potential target for gait disturbances, although the efficacy of PPN DBS may depend on the location of the electrode and the stimulation parameters.
