Patients underwent DBS surgery on the STN as previously described.10 In Cases 2, 7, and 8 (see Table 1), the locations of the electrodes were confirmed with immediate postoperative fast spin-echo T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a Leksell frame still in situ. In the remaining cases, locations were confirmed with immediate postoperative computed tomography (CT) with a Leksell or CRW frame (Integra Radionics, Burlington, MA) still in situ. CT scans were then fused with preoperative T2-weighted MRI.11 Electrode extension cables were externalized through the scalp to enable recordings prior to connection to a subcutaneous DBS pacemaker, implanted in a second operative procedure up to 7 days later. The permanent quadripolar macroelectrode used was model 3389 (Medtronic Neurologic Division, Minneapolis, MN), featuring 4 platinum–iridium cylindrical surfaces. Its contacts are numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3, with 0 being the most caudal and contact 3 being the most cranial
