A Slow Axon Antidromic Blockade Hypothesis for Tremor Reduction via Deep Brain Stimulation

Parkinsonian and essential tremor can often be effectively treated by deep brain stimulation. We propose a novel explanation for the mechanism by which this technique ameliorates tremor: a reduction of the delay in the relevant motor control loops via preferential antidromic blockade of slow axons....
