Abstract
Surgery for movement disorders began in the late 1930s with Meyers [1]: who perform transventricular procedures in the basal ganglia. Surgery improved with the introduction of stereotactic techniques [2]. Lesion targets were refined in the 1950s and 1960s with pallidotomy for treatment of rigidity and akinesia and thalamotomy for tremor [3]. Surgical treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) was less important in the 1970s because of the development of levodopa therapy
