Thanks for the great article! My surgeon and I talked about the GPI and STN destinations and decided on the smaller STN as the part of the brain to go to. I did have some affect on my verbal fluency (my neurologist calls it "thick tongue") but am able to work on that and feel great now! Most importantly the tremors are virtually gone and I've truly got my life back!
