Ventral intermediate thalamic stimulation is effective in treating essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease, but its precise mechanism of action is unclear. Milosevic et al. show that thalamic inhibition of neuronal firing is necessary for tremor reduction, suggesting that the thalamus acts as a filter for uncoupling central and peripheral tremor networks.
