Stimulating the cingulum bundle during neurosurgery where people are awake results in immediate laughter, followed by a sense of calm and happiness in patients, a new study reports.
Researchers report, in a number of cases, amyloid beta pathology may have been transmitted by contaminated instruments used in neurosurgeries up to three decades previously.
A new probe developed uses an innovative fluorescence-reading technology to help brain surgeons distinguish cancerous tissue from normal tissue. The probe tool, now already in use at the Cancer Center for brain surgery, may one day be used for surgeries for a variety of cancers.
A new microscope technology promises to help surgeons perform operations with better precision.
A new study reveals gene therapy in combination with neurosurgery can help to improve the rate of survival and promote regeneration of nerve fibers.
Doctors performed the first-ever FDA approved Schwann cell transplantation in a patient with a new spinal cord injury. The procedure is a Phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transplanting the patient’s own Schwann cells.
Researchers develop a working prototype of a neurosurgical robot which can enter the brain through the cheek and perform delicate hippocampal surgeries for epilepsy patients.
OCT could make brain tumor removal safer and more effective, researchers report.
Researchers team up with special effects experts to create a life-like 3D simulator that allows surgeons to practice delicate brain surgeries.
Neurosurgeons have developed a new way to perform deep brain stimulation surgeries. The new technique allows for more accurate placement of the electrodes in the brain and is likely to be safer for patients.
New computational method could help guide surgeons during brain surgeries.
Researchers have creates a new intraoperative probe which helps detect brain cancer cells.
