October 2024 Issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video: “Movement Disorders”

Rolling Meadows, IL (October 1, 2024). The October issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video (Vol. 11, No. 2) presents four videos on the topic of movement disorders. 

Topic Editors: Andres M. Lozano, Ellen L. Air, Gordon H. Baltuch, and Francisco A. Ponce           

From the Topic Editors’ introduction: “In this issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video, we concentrate on therapeutic lesioning in the central nervous system to treat movement disorders, using both traditional open methods with radiofrequency lesioning and noninvasive methods, specifically focused ultrasound. … In this issue, we discuss some of the fundamental neuroanatomical considerations in these procedures.” 

Contents of the October issue: 

• “Introduction. Advances in therapeutic lesioning in functional neurosurgery” by Andres M. Lozano et al.
• “Four-tract tractography: multiparametric direct targeting of the dentatorubrothalamic tract” by Andreas Seas et al.
• “MRI-guided focused ultrasound for essential tremor” by Alexander H. Agopyan-Miu et al.
• “Magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for tremor” by Jason A. Chen et al.
• “Stereotactic radiofrequency lesioning of caudal zona incerta for parkinsonian tremor” by Jitin Bajaj et al.
