Official Title: The STEREO-DBS Study: 7-Tesla MRI Brain Network Analysis for Deep Brain Stimulation in Essential Tremor

Brief Summary: Rationale: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus is an effective surgical treatment for the patients with advanced essential tremor, despite optimal pharmacological treatment.However, individual improvement after DBS remains variable and 20% of patients experience side effects.To date, DBS-electrode placement and settings in the highly connected thalamus are based on 1,5-Tesla or 3-Tesla MR-images.These low resolution and solely structural modalities are unable to visualize the multiple brain networks to…
