Functional neurosurgery resource features state-of-the-art
approaches from renowned experts! For patients with inadequately
treated epilepsy, tremor, dystonia, spasticity, depression,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease,
functional neurosurgery offers hope. Functional Neurosurgery: The
Essentials is a reader-friendly introduction to this fascinating
and rapidly evolving field. The text is edited by internationally
prominent functional neurosurgeons Jeffrey A. Brown, Julie G.
Pilitsis, and Michael Schulder. It features contributions from
authors with expertise spanning the disciplines of neurosurgery,
neurology, rehabilitation and physical medicine, neurophysiology,
bioengineering, psychiatry and ophthalmology. Opening with a brief
history of stereotaxy/functional neurosurgery and brain
stereotactic frames, 41 concise and coherent chapters explore
cutting-edge approaches to a broad range of functionally treatable
conditions. The chapters yield a solid foundation of understanding
of the field, with insightful commentary, pearls, and nuances from
the editors. The starting question in the neuroprosthetics chapter,
"Can a computer infer human intention or perception?" brings to
life the exciting, inquisitive, and pioneering spirit of this
subspecialty. The robust reference list provides a guide to deeper
study that should continue throughout training and practice.
Highlights Imaging: MRI and CT for stereotactic neurosurgery, fMRI
and resting state MRI Movement disorders: A comparative analysis of
the risks and benefits of deep brain stimulation versus lesioning
Epilepsy: Temporal lobectomy and extra-temporal surgery; invasive
monitoring, neuromodulation, laser interstitial thermal therapy,
and vagus nerve stimulation Dystonia: Etiology to diagnosis,
medical and surgical options Future innovations: Exoskeletons,
intention controlled, and visual neuroprosthetics The text is a
fundamental resource for neurosurgical residents during their
functional neurosurgery rotations and for general neurosurgeons and
functional subspecialists on procedures they may not routinely
perform in clinical practice. This book includes complimentary
access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
