✦ Synopsis

FIG. 1. SPECT study performed with technetium-99m-ethyl cysteinate dimer. The images were analyzed with an easy Z-score (eZIS) imaging system. The first eZIS images on SPECT showed increased rCBF in the right medial temporal lobe (A). The second eZIS images on SPECT revealed that the increased rCBF in the right medial temporal regions had diminished (B).

## Abstract Tardive dystonia usually occurs with a delay after neuroleptic exposure in patients with major psychosis. A subgroup of patients, however, is given such medication for “mild depression” or “neurasthenia.” Tardive dystonia, in general, may respond favorably to pallidal deep brain stimula

It is widely accepted that patients with Parkinson's disease experience immediate but temporary improvement in motor signs after surgical implantation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulating electrodes before the electrodes are activated, although this has never been formally studied. Ba
