This study discusses the various procedures and issues involved in the acquisition of microelectrode recordings (MER) signals of subthalamic nucleus stimulations with induced deep brain stimulation electrodes very rigorously. Bellicose-invasive physiological detections through the methods of sub cortical physio logical detections, electrical induced stimulations and micro electrode recordings, stereo-tactic technique, macro-stimulation, stereo-tactic functional neurosurgical technique, stimulations such as macro and micro, induced stimuli with current and microelectrode recordings, impedance information monitoring, micro injections of test substances, evoked potentials, biomarkers/local field potentials, microelectrode fabrication methods and setups, sub cortical atlas-mapping with micro recording/microelectrode recording (M.E.R.). Thus, the study is very significant to the electrophysiological neurosurgical point of view and is very useful to the field of microelectrode recording and functional neurosurgery. This study is concerned with invasive physiological detection of deep brain structures with micro- or macro-electrodes prior to surgery followed by imaging techniques and their use in cortical and subcortical detection; detection relevant to the superficial cerebral cortex regions.

Our objective was to describe the electrophysiological properties of the extracellular action potential (AP) picked up through microelectrode recordings (MERs). Five patients were operated under general anesthesia for centromedian deep brain stimulation (DBS). APs from the same cell were pooled to obtain a mean AP (mAP). The amplitudes and durations for all 2/3 phases were computed from the mAP, together with the maximum (dVmax) and minimum (dVmin) values of the first derivative, as well as the slopes of different phases during repolarization. The mAPs are denominated according to the phase polarity (P/N for positive/negative). We obtained a total of 1109 mAPs, most of the positive (98.47%) and triphasic (93.69%) with a small P/N deflection (Vphase1) before depolarization. The percentage of the different types of mAPs was different for the nuclei addressed. The relationship between dVmax and the depolarizing phase is specific. The descending phase of the first derivative identified different phases during the repolarizing period. We observed a high correlation between Vphase1 and the amplitudes of either depolarization or repolarization phases. Human thalamic nuclei differ in their electrophysiological properties of APs, even under general anesthesia. Capacitive current, which is probably responsible for Vphase1, is very common in thalamic APs. Moreover, subtle differences during repolarization are neuron-specific.
