What is the pathophysiology of thalamic hypokinetic syndrome?
• The loss of dopamine results in hypokinetic symptoms secondary to overactivity of the STN and Gpi via the indirect path, which increases inhibitory input to the thalamus and then reduces the excitatory thalamocortical activity that ordinarily facilitates motor movements.
What is Parkinsonian tremor?
Parkinsonian Tremor • Resting, static, or non-intention tremor • slow, coarse, and compound in type • Onset is usually in one hand; it may later involve the contralateral upper limb or ipsilateral lower limb.
