Neurotransmitter Measurements Using (WINCS) During Deep Brain Stimulation Neurosurgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Essential Tremor, Parkinson's Disease, Dystonia

In brief

In this study, the investigators will monitor extracellular neurotransmitter levels using a probe that is able to perform real time electrochemical detection during deep brain stimulation surgery. The overall question this study is designed to answer is: Are there neurotransmitters released during deep brain stimulation?
