Prior to an RF lesioning procedure, your doctor will use a small needle to inject a local anesthetic into your skin, which will reduce any discomfort. |
In regard to lesioning, pallidotomy and thalamotomy involve making a permanent lesion in the Gpi and thalamus, respectively. |
This device, named the Horsley-Clarke apparatus, facilitated the study of the cerebellum in animals by enabling accurate electrolytic lesioning to be made in the brain. |
You will need to be awake and alert during both the sensory and motor stimulation process to help the doctor pinpoint where to properly place the lesioning electrode. |
