Control of levodopa-induced dyskinesias by thalamic lesions in the course of routine treatment of Parkinsonism is discussed.}, issn = {0022-3050}, URL = {https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/47/8/831}, eprint = {https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/47/8/831.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery \& Psychiatry} }
