TABLE 2A.

Comparison of Z-score between baseline and after unilateral deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus (GPi-DBS) by brain perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).

Patients were divided into good and poor responders in changes of Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) part III total scores after surgery. *Only locations with significant changes in post-op CBF were extracted. **Primary auditory overlaps anatomically with frontal lobes. ↑: increased CBF, ↓: decreased CBF.
