Pallidal Surgery for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders: Editors, Joachim K. Krauss, Robert G. Grossman, Joseph JankovicThis text explores the history of pallidal surgery, and explains the basic anatomy and physiology behind it. Patient selection, technical aspects, and clinical results and evaluation are all explained.
