## Abstract The optimal stimulation site in subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) was evaluated by correlation of the stereotactic position of the stimulation electrode with the electrophysiologically specified dorsal STN border. In a series of 25 electrodes, best clinical results with least
