Al-Fatly et al. establish predictive connectivity maps of deep brain stimulation in essential tremor. They demonstrate that electrode connectivity to tremor-associated brain areas can predict postoperative improvement and that these maps can be somatotopically segregated according to the tremor-affected body parts.
