abstract = {Tremor is one of the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. Up to now, however, its pathophysiology remains
poorly understood. Previously, oscillatory coupling at
tremor frequency between the subthalamic nucleus und
affected muscles was shown. In these studies, however,
causality of coupling could not be demonstrated. Thus, we
analyzed the statistical causality between intraoperatively
recorded local field potentials in the subthalamic area and
affected arm muscles during tremor episodes, using squared
partial directed coherence, a recently developed causality
measure. The analysis identified differential statistical
causality patterns for Parkinson's disease patients of the
akinetic-rigid subtype during tremor episodes (n=6) versus
patients of the tremor-dominant subtype (n=8): for the
akinetic-rigid Parkinson's disease patients significantly
more cases of the subthalamic region were found to be
statistically causal for electromyographic-tremor activity,
a result in accordance with the standard basal ganglia
model. In contrast, for the tremor-dominant patients,
significantly more instances of electromyographic tremor
activity turned out to be causal for activity of the
subthalamic region. Furthermore, the clinical effective
stimulation site coincided with the location of most input
causalities from the periphery in seven out of eight
tremor-dominant patients. The data suggest that, although
tremor activity in tremor-dominant and akinetic-rigid
Parkinson's disease patients was clinically similar,
statistical causality between tremor electromyogram (EMG)
and the subthalamic nucleus was fundamentally different.
Therefore, we hypothesize different pathophysiological
mechanisms to underlie the generation of tremor in the two
subtypes of Parkinson's disease.},
