Essential tremor - is there a structural correlate? Insights from a diffusion tensor imaging study

If this finding holds true in a larger set of subjects, it would suggest structural damage to the cerebral motor system in ET and would be compatible with degeneration of both thalamo-cortical somatosensory and corticofugal motor tracts in ET, forming part of the thalamo-cortico-striatal motor loop...

Description
Summary:If this finding holds true in a larger set of subjects, it would suggest structural damage to the cerebral motor system in ET and would be compatible with degeneration of both thalamo-cortical somatosensory and corticofugal motor tracts in ET, forming part of the thalamo-cortico-striatal motor loop effectively targeted by deep brain stimulation of the VIM.
