Age refers to age on the day of surgery; DD, PD duration; preoperative levodopa, dose/day in mg, including levodopa-equivalent dosage of dopamine agonist (patient 4 was also treated with mianserin, and patients 6, 7, 12, and 13 were also treated with citalopram); UPDRS-III, motor score of the Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale in the off-medication condition; neurons, number of subthalamic neurons unrelated to eye movements; emotion-related neurons, number of neurons responding to emotional stimuli.
