Purpose In an era of residency duty-hour restrictions, there has been a recent effort to
implement simulation-based training methods in neurosurgery teaching institutions. Several …

Human brain atlases have been evolving tremendously, propelled recently by brain big
projects, and driven by sophisticated imaging techniques, advanced brain mapping …

Direct electrical stimulation of the brain can alleviate symptoms associated with Parkinson's
disease, depression, epilepsy and other neurological disorders. However, access to the …

Learning the endless intricacies of operative neurosurgical anatomy requires that surgeons
complement their intraoperative experiences with a variety of educational resources. In the …

Bioelectronics integrates electronics with biological organs, sustaining the natural functions
of the organs. Organs dynamically interact with the external environment, managing internal …

Purpose Both frame-based and frameless approaches to deep brain stimulation (DBS)
require planning of insertion trajectories that mitigate hemorrhagic risk and loss of …

Although there exist some reference and stereotactic anatomical human brain atlases, there
is no equivalent cerebrovascular atlas. A 3D reference atlas of the human …

Human brain atlas development is predominantly research-oriented and the use of atlases
in clinical practice is limited. Here I introduce a new definition of a reference human brain …

Objective. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy currently relies on a transcranial
neurosurgical technique to implant one or more electrode leads into the brain parenchyma …

As the human brain is the most complex living organ, constructing its detailed model with
exploration capabilities in a form of an atlas is a challenge. Our overall goal is to construct …
