Event-related desynchronization (ERD) and synchronization (ERS) were studied during the invasive exploration of an epileptic surgery candidate. An electrode that was targeted in the amygdalo-hippocampal complex passed through the putamen with several contacts. During a simple self-paced motor task, we observed in the putamen a power decline (ERD) in both the alpha and beta frequency bands, and a rebound phenomenon (ERS) in the beta frequency band, concurrent with the movement of each hand. This is the first report of ERD/ERS in the basal ganglia.
