Stereotact Funct Neurosurg 83:190-6. 2005..The PFA-VIM atlas overcomes several limitations of the current anatomical atlases and can improve targeting of thalamotomies and thalamic stimulations. It is dynamic and can easily be extended with new cases...
[Therapeutic and physiopathological contribution of electric stimulation of deep brain structures in Parkinson's disease]Alim Louis Benabid
Pavillon B, CHU Albert Michalon-38043 Grenoble
Bull Acad Natl Med 187:305-19; discussion 319-22. 2003..Moreover the physiopathogenic hypothesis suggests the possibility of a neuroprotective effect of the stimulation, which still needs to be clearly established at the experimental level as well as at the level of clinical applications...

Correlation between the anatomical and functional human subthalamic nucleusWieslaw L Nowinski
Biomedical Imaging Lab, Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore, Singapore
Stereotact Funct Neurosurg 85:88-93. 2007..3, >95% of F-STN is inside the A-STN, and for p >or= 0.5, the complete F-STN is inside the A-STN for each left and right STN. Therefore, the F-STN for p = 0.5 can potentially be used for identification of the STN in neuroimages...
From hypothalamic hamartoma to cortex: what can be learnt from depth recordings and stimulation?Philippe Kahane
Neurophysiopathologie de l Epilepsie, CHU de Grenoble, France
Epileptic Disord 5:205-17. 2003..Whether this proposal of secondary epileptogenesis is valid or not remains a major issue, since it could provide arguments on the moment to discuss surgery...

Biomedical Imaging Lab, Institute for Infocomm Research 21 Heng Hui Keng Terrace, Singapore
Neuroinformatics 2:381-98. 2004..The presented method is general and can be applied for constructing human and animal probabilistic brain atlases...
Restricted frontomesial epileptogenic focus generating dyskinetic behavior and laughterSerge Chassagnon
Service de Neurologie, , Hospices Civils de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France
Epilepsia 44:859-63. 2003..In this case, the coexistence of paroxysmal dyskinesias during laughter might reflect the involvement of specific compartment(s) of the basal ganglia...
