Since its introduction about sixty years ago, stereotactic and
functional neurosurgery has evolved into a fascinating and
interdisciplinary endeavor that combines modern neurosurgery,
neurobiology, and neuroimaging with innovative diagnostic and
treatment strategies. In this collection, acknowledged experts from
Europe and North and South America present their scientific and
clinical experience in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery for
movement disorders and brain tumors. The contributions present a
wide range from the beginnings of human stereotactic neurosurgery
to the most modern molecular and restorative strategies to treat
diseases of the human nervous system. They clearly demonstrate that
the discipline is still young and dynamic with alternative and
sometimes competing strategies whose evaluation is underway. They
also document that operative lesioning techniques such as
thalamotomies, though still chosen under certain circumstances,
have been succeeded by novel neuromodulation techniques such as
deep brain stimulation in the great majority of clinical cases.
