Intraoperative microelectrode recording during asleep deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus for Parkinson Disease. A case series with systematic review of the literature. Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:342. [PMID: 39031226 PMCID: PMC11271364 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-024-02563-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
The use of microelectrode recording (MER) during deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson Disease is controversial. Furthermore, in asleep DBS anesthesia can impair the ability to record single-cell electric activity.The purpose of this study was to describe our surgical and anesthesiologic protocol for MER assessment during asleep subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS and to put our findings in the context of a systematic review of the literature. Sixty-three STN electrodes were implanted in 32 patients under general anesthesia. A frameless technique using O-Arm scanning was adopted in all cases. Total intravenous anesthesia, monitored with bispectral index, was administered using a target controlled infusion of both propofol and remifentanil. A systematic review of the literature with metanalysis on MER in asleep vs awake STN DBS for Parkinson Disease was performed. In our series, MER could be reliably recorded in all cases, impacting profoundly on electrode positioning: the final position was located within 2 mm from the planned target only in 42.9% cases. Depth modification > 2 mm was necessary in 21 cases (33.3%), while in 15 cases (23.8%) a different track was used. At 1-year follow-up we observed a significant reduction in LEDD, UPDRS Part III score off-medications, and UPDRS Part III score on medications, as compared to baseline. The systematic review of the literature yielded 23 papers; adding the cases here reported, overall 1258 asleep DBS cases using MER are described. This technique was safe and effective: metanalysis showed similar, if not better, outcome of asleep vs awake patients operated using MER. MER are a useful and reliable tool during asleep STN DBS, leading to a fine tuning of electrode position in the majority of cases. Collaboration between neurosurgeon, neurophysiologist and neuroanesthesiologist is crucial, since slight modifications of sedation level can impact profoundly on MER reliability.

Neuromodulation 2024:S1094-7159(24)00073-4. [PMID: 38852085 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurom.2024.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anesthetic agents used during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery might interfere with microelectrode recording (MER) and local field potential (LFP) and thus affect the accuracy of surgical target localization. This review aimed to identify the effects of different anesthetic agents on neuronal activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) during the MER procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used Medical Subject Heading terms to search the PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCO, and ScienceDirect data bases. MER characteristics were sorted into quantitative and qualitative data types. Quantitative data included the burst index, pause index, firing rate (FR), and interspike interval. Qualitative data included background activity, burst discharge (BD), and anesthetic agent effect. We also categorized the reviewed manuscripts into those describing local anesthesia with sedation (LAWS) and those describing general anesthesia (GA) and compiled the effects of anesthetic agents on MER and LFP characteristics. RESULTS In total, 26 studies on MER were identified, of which 12 used LAWS and 14 used GA. Three studies on LFP also were identified. We found that the FR was preserved under LAWS but tended to be lower under GA, and BD was reduced in both groups. Individually, propofol enhanced BD but was better used for sedation, or the dosage should be minimized in GA. Similarly, low-dose dexmedetomidine sedation did not disturb MER. Opioids could be used as adjunctive anesthetic agents. Volatile anesthesia had the least adverse effect on MER under GA, with minimal alveolar concentration at 0.5. Dexmedetomidine anesthesia did not affect LFP, whereas propofol interfered with the power of LFP. CONCLUSIONS The effects of the tested anesthetics on the STN in MER and LFP of Parkinson's disease varied; however, identifying the STN and achieving a good clinical outcome are possible under controlled anesthetic conditions. For patient comfort, anesthesia should be considered in STN-DBS.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37955.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is a viable therapeutic for advanced Parkinson's disease. However, the efficacy and safety of STN-DBS under local anesthesia (LA) versus general anesthesia (GA) remain controversial. This meta-analysis aims to compare them using an expanded sample size. METHODS The databases of Embase, Cochrane Library and Medline were systematically searched for eligible cohort studies published between 1967 and 2023. Clinical efficacy was assessed using either Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) section III scores or levodopa equivalent dosage requirements. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess complications (adverse effects related to stimulation, general neurological and surgical complications, and hardware-related complications). RESULTS Fifteen studies, comprising of 13 retrospective cohort studies and 2 prospective cohort studies, involving a total of 943 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicate that there were no significant differences between the 2 groups with regards to improvement in UPDRS III score or postoperative levodopa equivalent dosage requirement. However, subgroup analysis revealed that patients who underwent GA with intraoperative imaging had higher UPDRS III score improvement compared to those who received LA with microelectrode recording (MER) (P = .03). No significant difference was found in the improvement of UPDRS III scores between the GA group and LA group with MER. Additionally, there were no notable differences in the incidence rates of complications between these 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicates that STN-DBS performed under GA or LA have similar clinical outcomes and complications. Therefore, GA may be a suitable option for patients with severe symptoms who cannot tolerate the procedure under LA. Additionally, the GA group with intraoperative imaging showed better clinical outcomes than the LA group with MER. A more compelling conclusion would require larger prospective cohort studies with a substantial patient population and extended long follow-up to validate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gold standard anesthesia for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is the "awake" approach, using local anesthesia alone. Although it offers high-quality microelectrode recordings and therapeutic-window assessment, it potentially causes patients extreme stress and might result in suboptimal surgical outcomes. General anesthesia or deep sedation is an alternative, but may reduce physiological testing reliability and lead localization accuracy. OBJECTIVES The aim is to investigate a novel anesthesia regimen of ketamine-induced conscious sedation for the physiological testing phase of DBS surgery. METHODS Parkinson's patients undergoing subthalamic DBS surgery were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. During physiological testing, the groups received 0.25 mg/kg/h ketamine infusion and normal saline, respectively. Both groups had moderate propofol sedation before and after physiological testing. The primary outcome was recording quality. Secondary outcomes included hemodynamic stability, lead accuracy, motor and cognitive outcome, patient satisfaction, and adverse events. RESULTS Thirty patients, 15 from each group, were included. Intraoperatively, the electrophysiological signature and lead localization were similar under ketamine and saline. Tremor amplitude was slightly lower under ketamine. Postoperatively, patients in the ketamine group reported significantly higher satisfaction with anesthesia. The improvement in Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale part-III was similar between the groups. No negative effects of ketamine on hemodynamic stability or cognition were reported perioperatively. CONCLUSIONS Ketamine-induced conscious sedation provided high quality microelectrode recordings comparable with awake conditions. Additionally, it seems to allow superior patient satisfaction and hemodynamic stability, while maintaining similar post-operative outcomes. Therefore, it holds promise as a novel alternative anesthetic regimen for DBS. © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease bearing a severe social and economic impact. So far, there is no known disease modifying therapy and the current available treatments are symptom oriented. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is established as an effective treatment for PD, however current systems lag behind today's technological potential. Adaptive DBS, where stimulation parameters depend on the patient's physiological state, emerges as an important step towards "smart" DBS, a strategy that enables adaptive stimulation and personalized therapy. This new strategy is facilitated by currently available neurotechnologies allowing the simultaneous monitoring of multiple signals, providing relevant physiological information. Advanced computational models and analytical methods are an important tool to explore the richness of the available data and identify signal properties to close the loop in DBS. To tackle this challenge, machine learning (ML) methods applied to DBS have gained popularity due to their ability to make good predictions in the presence of multiple variables and subtle patterns. ML based approaches are being explored at different fronts such as the identification of electrophysiological biomarkers and the development of personalized control systems, leading to effective symptom relief. In this review, we explore how ML can help overcome the challenges in the development of closed-loop DBS, particularly its role in the search for effective electrophysiology biomarkers. Promising results demonstrate ML potential for supporting a new generation of adaptive DBS, with better management of stimulation delivery, resulting in more efficient and patient-tailored treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is commonly performed with the patient awake to facilitate assessments of electrode positioning. However, awake neurosurgery can be a barrier to patients receiving DBS. Electrode implantation can be performed with the patient under general anesthesia (GA) using intraoperative imaging, although such techniques are not widely available. Electrophysiological features can also aid in the identification of target neural regions and provide functional evidence of electrode placement. Here we assess the presence and positional variation under GA of spontaneous beta and high-frequency oscillation (HFO) activity, and evoked resonant neural activity (ERNA), a novel evoked response localized to the subthalamic nucleus. METHODS ERNA, beta, and HFO were intraoperatively recorded from DBS leads comprising four individual electrodes immediately after bilateral awake implantation into the subthalamic nucleus of 21 patients with Parkinson's disease (42 hemispheres) and after subsequent GA induction deep enough to perform pulse generator implantation. The main anesthetic agent was either propofol (10 patients) or sevoflurane (11 patients). RESULTS GA reduced the amplitude of ERNA, beta, and HFO activity (p < 0.001); however, ERNA amplitudes remained large in comparison to spontaneous local field potentials. Notably, a moderately strong correlation between awake ERNA amplitude and electrode distance to an "ideal" therapeutic target within dorsal STN was preserved under GA (awake: ρ = -0.73, adjusted p value [padj] < 0.001; GA: ρ = -0.69, padj < 0.001). In contrast, correlations were diminished under GA for beta (awake: ρ = -0.45, padj < 0.001; GA: ρ = -0.13, padj = 0.12) and HFO (awake: ρ = -0.69, padj < 0.001; GA: ρ = -0.33, padj < 0.001). The largest ERNA occurred at the same electrode (awake vs GA) for 35/42 hemispheres (83.3%) and corresponded closely to the electrode selected by the clinician for chronic therapy at 12 months (awake ERNA 77.5%, GA ERNA 82.5%). The largest beta amplitude occurred at the same electrode (awake vs GA) for only 17/42 (40.5%) hemispheres and 21/42 (50%) for HFO. The electrode measuring the largest awake beta and HFO amplitudes corresponded to the electrode selected by the clinician for chronic therapy at 12 months in 60% and 70% of hemispheres, respectively. However, this correspondence diminished substantially under GA (beta 20%, HFO 35%). CONCLUSIONS ERNA is a robust electrophysiological signal localized to the dorsal subthalamic nucleus subregion that is largely preserved under GA, indicating it could feasibly guide electrode implantation, either alone or in complementary use with existing methods.

Abstract
In Parkinson’s disease (PD), subthalamic nucleus (STN) beta burst activity is pathologically elevated. These bursts are reduced by dopamine and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Therefore, these bursts have been tested as a trigger for closed-loop DBS. To provide better targeted parameters for closed-loop stimulation, we investigate the spatial distribution of beta bursts within the STN and if they are specific to a beta sub-band. Local field potentials (LFP) were acquired in the STN of 27 PD patients while resting. Based on the orientation of segmented DBS electrodes, the LFPs were classified as anterior, postero-medial, and postero-lateral. Each recording lasted 30 min with (ON) and without (OFF) dopamine. Bursts were detected in three frequency bands: ±3 Hz around the individual beta peak frequency, low beta band (lBB), and high beta band (hBB). Medication reduced the duration and the number of bursts per minute but not the amplitude of the beta bursts. The burst amplitude was spatially modulated, while the burst duration and rate were frequency dependent. Furthermore, the hBB burst duration was positively correlated with the akinetic-rigid UPDRS III subscore. Overall, these findings on differential dopaminergic modulation of beta burst parameters suggest that hBB burst duration is a promising target for closed-loop stimulation and that burst parameters could guide DBS programming.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a rapidly expanding surgical modality for the treatment of patients with movement disorders. Its ability to be adjusted, titrated, and optimized over time has given it a significant advantage over traditional more invasive surgical procedures. Therefore, the success and popularity of this procedure have led to the discovery of new indications and therapeutic targets as well as advances in surgical techniques. The aim of this review is to highlight the important updates in DBS surgery and to exam the anesthesiologist's role in providing optimal clinical management. RECENT FINDINGS New therapeutic indications have a significant implication on perioperative anesthesia management. In addition, new technologies like frameless stereotaxy and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging to guide electrode placement have altered the need for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and hence increased the use of general anesthesia. With an expanding number of patients undergoing DBS implantation, patients with preexisting DBS increasingly require anesthesia for unrelated surgery and the anesthesiologist must be aware of the considerations for perioperative management of these devices and potential complications. SUMMARY DBS will continue to grow and evolve requiring adaptation and modification to the anesthetic management of these patients.

Abstract
Closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) paradigm is gaining tremendous favor due to its potential capability of further and more efficient improvements in neurological diseases. Preclinical validation of closed-loop controller is quite necessary in order to minimize injury risks of clinical trials to patients, which can greatly benefit from real-time computational models and thus potentially reduce research and development costs and time. Here we developed an embedded multi-core real-time simulation platform (EMC-RTP) for a biological-faithful computational network model of basal ganglia (BG). The single neuron model is implemented in a highly real-time manner using a reasonable simplification. A modular mapping architecture with hierarchical routing organization was constructed to mimic the pathological neural activities of BG observed in parkinsonian conditions. A closed-loop simulation testbed for DBS validation was then set up using a host computer as the DBS controller. The availability of EMC-RTP and the testbed system was validated by comparing the performance of open-loop and proportional-integral (PI) controllers. Our experimental results showed that the proposed EMC-RTP reproduces abnormal beta bursts of BG in parkinsonian conditions while meets requirements of both real-time and computational accuracy as well. Closed-loop DBS experiments using the EMC-RTP suggested that the platform could perform reasonable output under different kinds of DBS strategies, indicating the usability of the platform.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) have demonstrated in the last decades to determine an important clinical improvement in advanced and selected Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. However, only a minority of parkinsonian patients meet the criteria to undergo DBS, and the surgical procedure itself is often stressful, especially for patients experiencing severe OFF state. Subcutaneous Apomorphine continuous administration is suitable as an adjunctive therapy capable of improving a suboptimal DBS result. Here we hypothesize a possible role for subcutaneous apomorphine infusion to alleviate severe OFF state in parkinsonian patients undergoing DBS, thus allowing intraoperative microrecording and patient’s collaboration during clinical testing.
Case presentation
A 68-year-old man, suffering from a very long PD-history, characterized by a severe akinetic status and dramatic non-motor features while in OFF, underwent Subthalamic-DBS keeping a slight but continuous apomorphine infusion (1.8 mg/hour), able to guarantee the right degree of patient’s collaboration without interfering with microelectrode recordings. There were no intra or perioperative complications and after the procedure he experienced a marked clinical benefit, being able to stop apomorphine administration.
Conclusions
Here we described the first Subthalamic DBS procedure performed with a low and stable dopaminergic stimulation guaranteed by subcutaneous Apomorphine continuous infusion. For its rapidity of action and prompt reversibility, apomorphine could be particularly suitable for use during difficult surgical procedures in PD, allowing more therapeutic opportunities for patients who would otherwise be excluded from the DBS option.

Abstract
Memory and cognitive impairment as sequelae of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and age-related dementia are major health issues with increasing social and economic burden. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a potential treatment to slow or halt progression of the disease state. The selection of stimulation target is critical, and structures that have been targeted for memory and cognitive enhancement include the Papez circuit, structures projecting to the frontal lobe such as the ventral internal capsule, and the cholinergic forebrain. Recent human clinical and animal model results imply that DBS of the nucleus basalis of Meynert can induce a therapeutic modulation of neuronal activity. Benefits include enhanced activity across the cortical mantle, and potential for amelioration of neuropathological mechanisms associated with Alzheimer's disease. The choice of stimulation parameters is also critical. High-frequency, continuous stimulation is used for movement disorders as a way of inhibiting their output; however, no overexcitation has been hypothesized in Alzheimer's disease and lower stimulation frequency or intermittent patterns of stimulation (periods of stimulation interleaved with periods of no stimulation) are likely to be more effective for stimulation of the cholinergic forebrain. Efficacy and long-term tolerance in human patients remain open questions, though the cumulative experience gained by DBS for movement disorders provides assurance for the safety of the procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established and valid therapy for a variety of pathological conditions ranging from motor to cognitive disorders. Still, much of the DBS-related mechanism of action is far from being understood, and there are several side effects of DBS whose origin is unclear. In the last years DBS limitations have been tackled by a variety of approaches, including adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS), a technique that relies on using chronically implanted electrodes on 'sensing mode' to detect the neural markers of specific motor symptoms and to deliver on-demand or modulate the stimulation parameters accordingly. Here we will review the state of the art of the several approaches to improve DBS and summarize the main challenges toward the development of an effective aDBS therapy. APPROACH We discuss models of basal ganglia disorders pathogenesis, hardware and software improvements for conventional DBS, and candidate neural and non-neural features and related control strategies for aDBS. MAIN RESULTS We identify then the main operative challenges toward optimal DBS such as (i) accurate target localization, (ii) increased spatial resolution of stimulation, (iii) development of in silico tests for DBS, (iv) identification of specific motor symptoms biomarkers, in particular (v) assessing how LFP oscillations relate to behavioral disfunctions, and (vi) clarify how stimulation affects the cortico-basal-ganglia-thalamic network to (vii) design optimal stimulation patterns. SIGNIFICANCE This roadmap will lead neural engineers novel to the field toward the most relevant open issues of DBS, while the in-depth readers might find a careful comparison of advantages and drawbacks of the most recent attempts to improve DBS-related neuromodulatory strategies.

The role of dexmedetomidine in neurosurgery. Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol 2020; 35:221-229.

Abstract
Dexmedetomidine can be used for sedation and analgesia and has been approved for this use by the European Medicines Agency since 2017. It causes an arousable state of sedation, which is beneficial during neurosurgical procedures that require the patient to cooperate with neurological tests (i.e. tumor surgery or implantation of deep brain stimulators). During procedures where monitoring of somatosensory evoked potentials and/or motor evoked potentials is required, dexmedetomidine can be used as an adjunct to general anesthesia with GABAergic drugs to decrease the dose of the latter when these drugs impair the monitoring signals. The use of dexmedetomidine has also been associated with neuroprotective effects and a decreased incidence of delirium, but studies confirming these effects in the peri-operative (neuro-)surgical setting are lacking. Although dexmedetomidine does not cause respiratory depression, its hemodynamic effects are complex and careful patient selection, choice of dose, and monitoring must be performed.

Abstract
Bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Traditionally, STN DBS for PD is performed by using microelectrode recording (MER) and/or intraoperative macrostimulation under local anesthesia (LA). However, many patients cannot tolerate the long operation time under LA without medication. In addition, it cannot be even be performed on PD patients with poor physical and neurological condition. Recently, it has been reported that STN DBS under general anesthesia (GA) can be successfully performed due to the feasible MER under GA, as well as the technical advancement in direct targeting and intraoperative imaging. The authors reviewed the previously published literature on STN DBS under GA using intraoperative imaging and MER, focused on discussing the technique, clinical outcome, and the complication, as well as introducing our single-center experience. Based on the reports of previously published studies and ours, GA did not interfere with the MER signal from STN. STN DBS under GA without intraoperative stimulation shows similar or better clinical outcome without any additional complication compared to STN DBS under LA. Long-term follow-up with a large number of the patients would be necessary to validate the safety and efficacy of STN DBS under GA.

Abstract
Microelectrode recording (MER) is often used to identify electrode location which is critical for the success of deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The usage of anesthesia and its’ impact on MER quality and electrode placement is controversial. We recorded neuronal activity at a single depth inside the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) before, during, and after remifentanil infusion. The root mean square (RMS) of the 250–6000 Hz band-passed signal was used to evaluate the regional spiking activity, the power spectrum to evaluate the oscillatory activity and the coherence to evaluate synchrony between two microelectrodes. We compare those to new frequency domain (spectral) analysis of previously obtained data during propofol sedation. Results showed Remifentanil decreased the normalized RMS by 9% (P < 0.001), a smaller decrease compared to propofol. Regarding the beta range oscillatory activity, remifentanil depressed oscillations (drop from 25 to 5% of oscillatory electrodes), while propofol did not (increase from 33.3 to 41.7% of oscillatory electrodes). In the cases of simultaneously recorded oscillatory electrodes, propofol did not change the synchronization while remifentanil depressed it. In conclusion, remifentanil interferes with the identification of the dorsolateral oscillatory region, whereas propofol interferes with RMS identification of the STN borders. Thus, both have undesired effect during the MER procedure. Trial registration: NCT00355927 and NCT00588926.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
General anesthetics-induced changes of electrical oscillations in the basal ganglia may render the identification of the stimulation targets difficult. The authors hypothesized that while sevoflurane anesthesia entrains coherent lower frequency oscillations, it does not affect the identification of the subthalamic nucleus and clinical outcome.
Methods
A cohort of 19 patients with Parkinson’s disease with comparable disability underwent placement of electrodes under either sevoflurane general anesthesia (n = 10) or local anesthesia (n = 9). Microelectrode recordings during targeting were compared for neuronal spiking characteristics and oscillatory dynamics. Clinical outcomes were compared at 5-yr follow-up.
Results
Under sevoflurane anesthesia, subbeta frequency oscillations predominated (general vs. local anesthesia, mean ± SD; delta: 13 ± 7.3% vs. 7.8 ± 4.8%; theta: 8.4 ± 4.1% vs. 3.9 ± 1.6%; alpha: 8.1 ± 4.1% vs. 4.8 ± 1.5%; all P < 0.001). In addition, distinct dorsolateral beta and ventromedial gamma oscillations were detected in the subthalamic nucleus solely in awake surgery (mean ± SD; dorsal vs. ventral beta band power: 20.5 ± 6.6% vs. 15.4 ± 4.3%; P < 0.001). Firing properties of subthalamic neurons did not show significant difference between groups. Clinical outcomes with regard to improvement in motor and psychiatric symptoms and adverse effects were comparable for both groups. Tract numbers of microelectrode recording, active contact coordinates, and stimulation parameters were also equivalent.
Conclusions
Sevoflurane general anesthesia decreased beta-frequency oscillations by inducing coherent lower frequency oscillations, comparable to the pattern seen in the scalp electroencephalogram. Nevertheless, sevoflurane-induced changes in electrical activity patterns did not reduce electrode placement accuracy and clinical effect. These observations suggest that microelectrode-guided deep brain stimulation under sevoflurane anesthesia is a feasible clinical option.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) has been applied to clinic for approximately 30 years. The goal of this review is to explore the similarities and differences between "awake" and "asleep" DBS techniques. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify relevant studies and review articles describing applications of "awake" or "asleep" DBS for Parkinson's disease. The surgical procedures, clinical outcomes, costs and complications of each technique were compared in detail through literature review. RESULTS The surgical procedures of awake and asleep DBS surgeries rely upon different methods for verification of intended target acquisition. The existing research results demonstrated that the stereotactic targeting accuracy of lead placement obtained by either method is reliable. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes, costs, or complications between the two techniques. CONCLUSION The surgical and clinical outcomes of asleep DBS for PD are comparable to those of awake DBS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of basal ganglia effectively tackles motor symptoms of movement disorders such as Tourette syndrome (TS). The precise location of target stimulation site determines the range of clinical outcome in DBS patients, and the occurrence of side-effects of DBS. DBS implant procedures currently localize stimulation target relying on a combination of pre-surgical imaging, standardized brain atlases and on-the-spot clinical tests. Here we show that temporal structure of single unit activity in subthalamic nucleus (STN) of patients affected by pure TS can contribute to identify the optimal target location of DBS. APPROACH Neural activity was recorded at different depths within STN with microelectrodes during DBS implant surgery. Depth specific neural features were extracted and correlated with the optimal depth for tic control. MAIN RESULTS We describe for the first time temporal spike patterns of single neurons from sensorimotor STN of anesthetized TS patients. A large fraction of units (31.2%) displayed intense bursting in the delta band (<4 Hz). The highest firing irregularity and hence the higher density of bursting units (42%) were found at the optimal spot for tic control. Discharge patterns irregularity and dominant oscillations frequency (but not firing rate) carried significant information on optimal target. SIGNIFICANCE We found single unit activity features in the STN of TS patients reliably associated to optimal DBS target site for tic control. In future works measures of firing irregularity could be integrated with current target localization methods leading to a more effective and safer DBS for TS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). Intraoperative imaging (IMG), intraoperative physiology (PHY) and their combination (COMB) are the three mainstream DBS guidance methods. OBJECTIVE To comprehensively compare the use of IMG-DBS, PHY-DBS and COMB-DBS in treating PD. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and OpenGrey were searched to identify PD-DBS studies reporting guidance techniques published between January 1, 2010, and May 1, 2018. We quantitatively compared the therapeutic effects, surgical time, target error and complication risk and qualitatively compared the patient experience, cost and technical prospects. A meta-regression analysis was also performed. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42018105995. RESULTS Fifty-nine cohorts were included in the main analysis. The three groups were equivalent in therapeutic effects and infection risks. IMG-DBS (p < 0.001) and COMB-DBS (p < 0.001) had a smaller target error than PHY-DBS. IMG-DBS had a shorter surgical time (p < 0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively) and a lower intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) risk (p = 0.013 and p = 0.004, respectively) than PHY- and COMB-DBS. The use of intraoperative imaging and microelectrode recording correlated with a higher surgical accuracy (p = 0.018) and a higher risk of ICH (p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS The comparison of COMB-DBS and PHY-DBS showed intraoperative imaging's superiority (higher surgical accuracy), while the comparison of COMB-DBS and IMG-DBS showed physiological confirmation's inferiority (longer surgical time and higher ICH risk). Combined with previous evidence, the use of intraoperative neuroimaging techniques should become a future trend.

Abstract
The analysis of neuronal activity in human brain is a complicated task as it meets several limitations, including small sample sizes, dependent variables in the dataset and the short duration of recordings that entangles the analysis procedure. Here, we present the comparative research of neuronal activity in subthalamic nucleus (STN) of 8 Parkinsonian patients undergoing DBS surgery in awake state and under propofol anaesthesia using different statistical approaches. We studied 25 parameters of single unit activity and performed a direct comparison of the parameters between the groups to characterise the changes in STN activity under anaesthesia. We found a significant decrease in firing rate and a prominent increase in bursting of neurons in the anaesthetised state. Also, these data were used to determine the most important parameters for classification. We revealed the differences between parametric and nonparametric approaches regarding the identification of the most important spike train features. The random forest trees algorithm showed a greater accuracy of classification (91.7 ± 1.8%) compared to generalised linear models (82.4 ± 3.8%). The lists of the features important for classification according to F-scores and random forest trees also differed markedly. Our results indicate that feature interactions play a key role in neuronal activity analysis and must be taken into account.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) under general anesthesia (GA) had been used in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are unable tolerate awake surgery. The effect of anesthetics on intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) remains unclear. Understanding the effect of anesthetics on MER is important in performing STN DBS surgery with general anesthesia. In this study, we retrospectively performed qualitive and quantitative analysis of STN MER in PD patients received STN DBS with controlled desflurane anesthesia or LA and compared their clinical outcome. From January 2005 to March 2006, 19 consecutive PD patients received bilateral STN DBS surgery in Hualien Tzu-Chi hospital under either desflurane GA (n = 10) or LA (n = 9). We used spike analysis (frequency and modified burst index [MBI]) and the Hilbert transform to obtain signal power measurements for background and spikes, and compared the characterizations of intraoperative microelectrode signals between the two groups. Additionally, STN firing pattern characteristics were determined using a combined approach based on the autocorrelogram and power spectral analysis, which was employed to investigate differences in the oscillatory activities between the groups. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) before and after surgery. The results revealed burst firing was observed in both groups. The firing frequencies were greater in the LA group and MBI was comparable in both groups. Both the background and spikes were of significantly greater power in the LA group. The power spectra of the autocorrelograms were significantly higher in the GA group between 4 and 8 Hz. Clinical outcomes based on the UPDRS were comparable in both groups before and after DBS surgery. Under controlled light desflurane GA, burst features of the neuronal firing patterns are preserved in the STN, but power is reduced. Enhanced low-frequency (4–8 Hz) oscillations in the MERs for the GA group could be a characteristic signature of desflurane's effect on neurons in the STN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) has become a standard treatment for many patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The reported clinical outcome measures for procedures done under general anesthesia (GA) compared to traditional local anesthetic (LA) technique are quite heterogeneous and difficult to compare. The aim of this systematic review and metaanalysis was to determine whether the clinical outcome after STN-DBS insertion under GA is comparable to that under LA in patients with Parkinson's disease. METHODS The databases of Medline Embase, Cochrane library and Pubmed were searched for eligible studies (human trials, English language, published between 1946 and January of 2016). The primary outcome of this study was to assess the postoperative improvement in the symptoms, evaluated using either Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores or levodopa equivalent dosage (LEDD) requirement. RESULTS The literature searches yielded 395 citations and six retrospective cohort studies with a sample size of 455 (194 in GA and 261 in LA) were included in the analysis. Regarding the clinical outcomes, there were no significant differences in the postoperative Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale and levodopa equivalent drug dosage between the GA and the LA groups. Similarly, the adverse events and target accuracy were also comparable between the groups. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis shows that currently there is no good quality data to suggest equivalence of GA to LA during STN-DBS insertion in patients with PD, with some factors trending towards LA. There is a need for a prospective randomized control trial to validate our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease affecting the quality of life in the elderly. We speculated that PD patients might have abnormal pharmacodynamics due to the degenerative neural system, and the present study was performed to investigate the pharmacodynamics of remifentanil in PD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two arms of patients were recruited, including 31 PD patients undergoing pulse generator placement after deep brain stimulator implantation and 31 pair-controlled patients undergoing intracranial surgery without PD (NPD). Patients were anesthetized with target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil. The effective concentration of remifentanil to inhibit responses to intubation and skin incision in 50% and 95% patients (EC50 and EC95) was determined by the up and down method. RESULTS Demographic data, bispectral index, and hemodynamic values were similar between the PD and the NPD groups. The average remifentanil concentration used in the PD group for tracheal intubation is significantly lower than in the NPD group (P<0.001). The EC50 for inhibiting the response to tracheal intubation were 1.86 ng/mL (95% confidential interval [CI], 1.77-1.96 ng/mL) in the PD group and 3.20 ng/mL (95% CI, 3.13-3.27 ng/mL) in the NPD group. The average remifentanil concentration used in the PD group for skin incision is significantly lower than in the NPD group (P<0.001). EC50 for inhibiting the response to skin incision were 2.17 ng/mL (95% CI, 2.09-2.25 ng/mL) in the PD group and 3.09 ng/mL (95% CI, 3.02-3.17 ng/mL) in the NPD group. CONCLUSIONS The remifentanil concentrations required for inhibiting responses to tracheal intubation and skin incision are reduced markedly in PD patients undergoing pulse generator placement (NCT01992692).

Abstract
Background The aim of the study is to investigate if deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) under general anesthesia further improves outcome by lessening postoperative cognitive, mood, and behavioral adverse effects; shorten surgical time and hospital admittance; and produce comparable symptomatic and functional improvement to surgery under local anesthesia. Methods/design The study will be a single-center, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint trial comparing DBS under general anesthesia with DBS under local anesthesia. The primary outcome measure is a composite score of the postoperative cognitive, mood, and behavioral adverse effects and will be measured 6 months after surgery. The secondary outcome measures consist of changes in motor symptoms, adverse effects of stimulation and surgical complications, surgical time, functional health, quality of life, patient satisfaction with the outcome of treatment, patient evaluation of the burden of therapy, and medication. A total of 110 patients with advanced PD who are candidates for DBS will be randomized during a 2.5-year period. Discussion The aim of this trial is to further enhance the effectiveness of DBS treatment in PD while reducing the burden of DBS surgery by studying if DBS surgery under general anesthesia results in less cognitive, mood, and behavioral adverse effects compared with surgery under local anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Millions of patients around the world are affected by neurological and psychiatric disorders. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a device-based therapy that could have fewer side-effects and higher efficiencies in drug-resistant patients compared to other therapeutic options such as pharmacological approaches. Thus far, several efforts have been made to incorporate a feedback loop into DBS devices to make them operate in a closed-loop manner. METHODS This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the existing research-based and commercial closed-loop DBS devices. It describes a brief history of closed-loop DBS techniques, biomarkers and algorithms used for closing the feedback loop, components of the current research-based and commercial closed-loop DBS devices, and advancements and challenges in this field of research. This review also includes a comparison of the closed-loop DBS devices and provides the future directions of this area of research. RESULTS Although we are in the early stages of the closed-loop DBS approach, there have been fruitful efforts in design and development of closed-loop DBS devices. To date, only one commercial closed-loop DBS device has been manufactured. However, this system does not have an intelligent and patient dependent control algorithm. A closed-loop DBS device requires a control algorithm to learn and optimize the stimulation parameters according to the brain clinical state. CONCLUSIONS The promising clinical effects of open-loop DBS have been demonstrated, indicating DBS as a pioneer technology and treatment option to serve neurological patients. However, like other commercial devices, DBS needs to be automated and modernized.

Abstract
Weight gain has been reported after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS), a widely used treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). This nucleus has been repeatedly found to be linked both to reward and to inhibitory control, two key aspects in the control of food intake. In this study, we assessed whether weight gain experienced by patients with PD after STN-DBS, might be due to an alteration of reward and inhibitory functions. Eighteen patients with PD were compared to eighteen healthy controls and tested three times: before surgery, in ON medication and after surgery, respectively five days after the implantation in ON medication/OFF stimulation and at least three months after surgery in ON medication/ON stimulation. All participants were assessed for depression (Beck Depression Inventory), anhedonia (Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale) and impulsiveness (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale). They performed a battery of tests assessing food reward sensitivity (Liking, Wanting and Preference) and a food go/no-go task. Results showed that body weight significantly increased after STN-DBS. A few days after surgery, patients were slower and more impulsive in the go/no-go task, showed a higher preference for high calorie (HC) foods and rated foods as less tasty. Months after subthalamic stimulation, the performance on the go/no-go task improved while no differences were observed in reward sensitivity. Interestingly, weight gain resulted greater in patients with higher levels of attentional impulsiveness pre-surgery, higher wanting for low calorie (LC) foods and impulsivity in the go/no-go task in ON medication/ON stimulation. However, only wanting and attentional impulsivity significantly predicted weight change. Furthermore, weight gain resulted associated with the reduction of l-Dopa after surgery and disease's duration. In conclusion, our findings are consistent with the view that weight gain in PD after STN-DBS has a multifactorial nature, which reflects the complex functional organization of the STN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The placement of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes can be facilitated by intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) of the STN. OBJECTIVES Optimal anesthetic management during surgery remains unclear because of a lack of quantitative data of the effect of anesthetics on MER. Therefore, we measured the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on MER measures of the STN commonly taken intraoperatively. METHODS MER from 45 patients was retrospectively compared between patients treated with remifentanil (REMI) alone or both REMI and DEX, which are the 2 main standards of care at our center. The measures examined were population activity, such as root mean square, STN length, and number of passes yielding STN, and the single-neuron measures of firing rate and variability. RESULTS The addition of DEX does not affect population measures (number of passes: DEX+REMI, n = 68, REMI only, n = 154), or neuronal firing rates (number of neurons: DEX+REMI, n = 64, REMI only, n = 72), but firing rate variability was reduced. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort, population-based measures routinely used for electrode placement in the STN were unaffected by DEX when added to REMI. Neuronal firing rates were also unaffected, but their variability was reduced, even beyond 20 min after cessation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition secondary to loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Surgical therapy serves as an adjunct when unwanted medication side effects become apparent or additional therapy is needed. Deep brain stimulation emerged into the forefront in the 1990s. Studies have demonstrated improvement in all of the cardinal parkinsonian signs with stimulation. Frameless and ‘mini-frame’ stereotactic systems, improved MRI for anatomic visualization, and intraoperative MRI-guided placement are a few of the surgical advances in deep brain stimulation. Other advances include rechargeable pulse generators, voltage- or current-based stimulation, and enhanced abilities to ‘steer’ stimulation. Work is ongoing investigating closed-loop ‘smart’ stimulation in which stimulation is predicated on neuronal feedback.

Abstract
Objectives: Subthalamic nucleus deep-brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is suggested as a standard treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and drug-related side effects. Most centers perform the operation under local anesthesia (LA) to ensure better microelectrode recording (MER). Given the advances in imaging and MER, general anesthesia (GA) is perceived as an alternative choice for PD patients undergoing STN-DBS. However, the outcomes in terms of clinical symptoms and MER after GA have rarely been reported. In this report, we compared the outcomes after STN-DBS for PD between patients receiving LA and GA. Materials and Methods: We included 16 patients with comparable severity of PD undergoing either GA (n = 8) or LA (n = 8) for STN-DBS. MER was performed in all patients for STN localization, and surgical outcomes were evaluated using the Unified PD Rating Scales, and Mini-mental status examination. All adverse effects were documented. Results: Both groups (GA and LA) acquired similar benefits from STN-DBS, and there were no significant differences in neuropsychiatric outcome analysis between groups. There were no significant differences in stimulation parameters and adverse effects from STN-DBS between groups. The GA group had a trend toward a lower frequency rate of STN firing on MER. Conclusion: Although the GA group has a lower neuronal firing frequency in the STN during surgery, STN-DBS under GA showed comparable and non-inferior outcomes as compared with STN-DBS under LA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In many centers the standard anesthesiological care for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in Parkinson's disease patients is an asleep-awake-asleep procedure. However, sedative drugs and anesthetics can compromise ventilation and hemodynamic stability during the operation and some patients develop a delirious mental state after the initial asleep phase. Further, these drugs interfere with the patient's alertness and cooperativeness, the quality of microelectrode recordings, and the recognition of undesired stimulation effects. In this study, we correlated the incidence of intraoperative delirium with the amount of anesthetics used intraoperatively. METHODS The anesthesiologic approach is based on continuous presence and care, avoidance of negative suggestions, use of positive suggestions, and utilization of the patient's own resources. Clinical data from the operations were analyzed retrospectively, the occurrence of intraoperative delirium was extracted from patients' charts. The last 16 patients undergoing the standard conscious sedation procedure (group I) were compared to the first 22 (group II) psychologically-guided patients. RESULTS The median amount of propofol decreased from 146 mg (group I) to 0mg (group II), remifentanyl from 0.70 mg to 0.00 mg, respectively (P<0.001 for propofol and remifentanyl). Using the new procedure, 12 of 22 patients (55%) in group II required no anesthetics. Intraoperative delirium was significantly less frequent in group II (P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of intraoperative delirium correlates with the amount of intraoperative sedative and anesthetic drugs. Sedation and powerful analgesia are not prerequisites for patients' comfort during awake-DBS-surgery.

Abstract
Ablative intracranial surgery for Parkinson's disease has advanced to embedding electrodes into precise areas of the basal ganglia. Electrode implantation surgery, referred to as deep brain stimulation (DBS), is preferred in view of its reversibility, adjustability, and capability to be safely performed bilaterally. DBS is been increasingly used for other movement disorders, intractable tremors epilepsy, and sometimes chronic pain. Anesthesiologists need to amalgamate the knowledge of neuroanatomical structures and surgical techniques involved in placement of microelectrodes in defined cerebral target areas. Perioperative verbal communication with the patient during the procedure is quintessential and may attenuate the need for pharmacological agents. This review will endeavor to assimilate the present knowledge regarding the patient selection, available/practiced anesthesia regimens, and perioperative complications after our thorough search for literature published between 1991 and 2013.

Abstract
A new working hypothesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) proposes to focus on the central role of entropy increase in the basal ganglia (BG) in movement disorders. The conditions necessary for entropy increase in vivo are, however, still not fully described. We recorded the activity of single globus pallidus pars interna neurons during the transition from deep anesthesia to full alertness in relaxed, head-restrained, control, and parkinsonian (6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned group-lesioned) rats. We found that during awakening from anesthesia, the variation of neuronal entropy was significantly higher in the parkinsonian than in the control group. This implies in our view that in PD the entropy of the output neurons of the BG varies dynamically with the input to the network, which is determined by the level of alertness. Therefore, entropy needs to be interpreted as a dynamic, emergent property that characterizes the global state of the BG neuronal network, rather than a static property of parkinsonian neurons themselves. Within the framework of the "entropy hypothesis," this implies the presence of a pathological feedback loop in the parkinsonian BG, where increasing the network input results in a further increase of neuronal entropy and a worsening of akinesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) improves sleep in patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD). Since microsubthalamotomy (mSTN) shows positive effects on motor symptoms, it could improve sleep in PD patients. Our goals were: to assess the effects of mSTN on sleep in patients affected by advanced PD; and to look for a correlation between sleep and motor features after the neurosurgical procedure. METHODS Fifteen patients who underwent bilateral STN-DBS were enrolled. Subjective sleep evaluation was assessed using the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS). Data on sleep schedule and presence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) were obtained. Objective sleep features were investigated by polysomnography (PSG). To evaluate the mSTN effect, we compared motor state and sleep features before and after the neurosurgical procedure, before the programmable pulse generator was switched on. RESULTS mSTN had beneficial effects on motor state and sleep features. After the surgery, the mean total PDSS score increased from 84.0±25.2 to 115.2±16.6 (P<0.001). PD patients reported longer total sleep time duration, decreased daytime sleepiness, and improvement in RLS symptoms. PSG data showed an increase in total sleep time and sleep efficiency with a decrease in wakefulness after sleep onset and arousal index. No correlation between motor improvements and sleep features modifications was observed after mSTN. CONCLUSIONS mSTN improves sleep quality and ameliorates several sleep complaints, as well as motor symptoms, in advanced PD patients who have undergone STN-DBS.

Abstract
Current DBS therapy delivers a train of electrical pulses at set stimulation parameters. This open-loop design is effective for movement disorders, but therapy may be further optimized by a closed loop design. The technology to record biosignals has outpaced our understanding of their relationship to the clinical state of the whole person. Neuronal oscillations may represent or facilitate the cooperative functioning of brain ensembles, and may provide critical information to customize neuromodulation therapy. This review addresses advances to date, not of the technology per se, but of the strategies to apply neuronal signals to trigger or modulate stimulation systems.
