Is there a role for combined EMG-fMRI in exploring the pathophysiology of essential tremor and improving functional neurosurgery?

Is there a role for combined EMG-fMRI in exploring the pathophysiology of essential tremor and improving functional neurosurgery?

BACKGROUND: Functional MRI combined with electromyography (EMG-fMRI) is a new technique to investigate the functional association of movement to brain activations. Thalamic stereotactic surgery is effective in reducing tremor. However, while some patients have satisfying benefit, others have only pa...
