Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a widely performed surgical procedure for patients with advanced Parkinson’s Disease (PD) [1]. Anatomically, the STN is a small brain area located in the junction between the diencephalon and midbrain [2,3]. Therefore, it is not always easy to localize.
