The striatum, pallidum and subthalamic nucleus were studied by combined morphometric methods in serial sections of 13 brains of normal adults and of 15 patients with choreatic diseases. In addition the volume of the hemispheres and of the cortex were measured. All data obtained were corrected by the shrinkage factor to represent fresh brain values. In Huntington's chorea the pallidum was more s...

STN DBS is undoubtedly "the most important discovery since levodopa", ...
