Holmes' tremor Delayed (1-24 months) Rest and intention tremor, w/o postural tremor Both nigrostriatal dopaminergic and cerebello-thalamic/cerebello-olivary Brainstem or thalamus
Palatal tremor Delayed (1 week-49 months) - Dentato-rubro-olivary (Guillain-Mollaret tringle) Brainstem
Asterixis Acute Unilateral or occasionally bilateral Dentato-rubro-thalamic Thalamus, basal ganglia, midbrain, or frontoparietal cortex
