In Japan, functional neurosurgery for movement disorders began in the 1950s with pallidotomy or thalamotomy. This has since evolved into subthalamic or pallidal deep brain stimulation, and in recent years focused ultrasound surgery has also been tried for clinical use. Furthermore, its application to psychiatric disorders is also being studied abroad. It is important for neurologists to be fully aware of what kind of functional neurosurgical treatment is being used for movement disorders. This program aims to review the latest in functional neurosurgical treatment for movement disorders by two experts in this field.
