✓ Microelectrode recordings made in 64 human cases of movement disorder or intractable pain were used to study the relation of the site of electrical activity to the ventricular system. Standardizing the cases by dividing the AC-PC line in equal parts and using the same units to divide the areas above and below the intercommissural line and the distance of the electrodes to the midline revealed that the dispersion of the electrical activities in regard to AC-PC line was minimal and overlapping practically nonexistent. It is concluded that, at least for the areas explored, the size of each diencephalon nucleus is proportional to the size of other diencephalic nuclei, and its internal structure and relation to radiological landmarks are fairly constant.
