Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Previous studies in primary dystonia suggested that abnormal oscillations of 5-18 Hz in the bilateral internal globus pallidus (GPi) may be a specific feature of dystonia.(1-3) Moreover, voluntary movements were associated with bilateral desynchronization of β (<30 Hz) and contralateral synchronization of γ (∼70 Hz) frequencies in the GPi.(2-4) We recorded local field potentials (LFPs) from the GPi and motor thalamus in a patient with severe hemidystonia to test the following hypotheses. First, the 5-18 Hz synchronization is present in the basal ganglia (BG)-thalamic circuit in patients with secondary dystonia. Second, the bilaterally coherent 5-18 Hz activity may be transmitted between the hemispheres through the motor thalamus. Finally, if the 5-18 Hz rhythm is related to dystonia, attempted movements of dystonic muscles would result in less attenuation of this 5-18 Hz oscillation compared to normal movements.
