Parkinson"s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that presents with major symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia, often in the extremities, followed by decreased dopamine levels. Although medical treatment seems to be an effective treatment in the early stages of the disease, deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is a treatment option that gives very satisfactory results in selected patients with mid-advanced stages. One of the most important steps determining the effectiveness of DBS surgery is to identify the target where the permanent electrode will be placed during the operation with the microelectrode recording (MER) technique. In this review, the MER technique used in DBS surgery will be discussed in detail. Anahtar Kelimeler : Parkinson"s disease, Deep brain stimulation, Neuromodulation, Microelectrode recording
