摘要: Six patients undergoing stereotactic procedures for essential tremor received microinjections of muscimol (a gamma-aminobutyric acid-A [GABA(A)] agonist) into the ventralis intermedius thalamus in areas where tremor-synchronous cells were identified electrophysiologically with microelectrode recordings and reduction occurred electrical microstimulation. Injections but not saline consistently reduced each patient. The effect had a mean latency 7 minutes lasted an average 9 minutes. We propose that GABA-mediated thalamic neuronal inhibition may represent mechanism underlying effectiveness surgery GABA analogues could potentially be used therapeutically.
