HFS of the STN preferentially activates the corticobulbar tract over the corticospinal tract. Therefore, cranial motor contractions need to be looked for during electrical parameter setting. The positive correlation between the electrical intensity threshold for PTSEs and R reflects the need for millimetre accuracy in electrode positioning.
