Hypokinesia upon pallidal deep brain stimulation of dystonia: support of a GABAergic mechanism

In the past, many studies have documented the beneficial effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the globus pallidus internus for treatment of primary segmental or generalized dystonia. Recently however, several reports focused on DBS-induced hypokinesia or freezing of gait as a side effect in th...
