Abstract Objective We investigated the theoretical optimal venous location for an endovascular seizure detection device using stereo‐EEG (SEEG) data. Methods Six venous sinus segments from consecutive SEEG patients: anterior, middle, and posterior sagittal sinus (SS‐A, SS‐M, SS‐P), straight sinus, and the ipsilateral/contralateral (relative to primary ...

MR‐Guidance of Gene Therapy for Brain Diseases: Moving From Palliative Treatment to Cures
ABSTRACT Regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe recently approved a gene therapy for aromatic L‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency, a rare neurologic disorder where a genetic mutation prevents dopamine production in the brain. Affected children fail to develop normal motor and cognitive functions.

Automated Marker Localization in the Planning Phase of Robotic Neurosurgery
Accurate patient registration is a critical issue in medical image-guided interventions. The neurosurgical robotic system RObotic Neuro-NAvigation (RONNA) uses four retro-reflective spheres, on a marker attached to the patient's cranial bone, for patient

Different strategies in the management of thalamic space-occupying lesions
Introduction Thalamic space-occupying lesions (SOL) are considered challenging for microsurgical removal. Unfortunately, the pathological features of lesions occurring in the thalamic region are different with a wide variation in clinical behavior and ...

Precise Electrode Co‐Alignment in Deep Brain Stimulation Fusing Neuroimaging and Electrophysiology
ABSTRACT We present a multimodal framework to improve the precision of electrode placement in deep brain stimulation (DBS) by fusing preoperative neuroimaging with intraoperative electrophysiology for accurate electrode co‐alignment. The workflow integrates automated subthalamic nucleus (STN) segmentation from preoperative MRI using a two‐step ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition that consists of both motor and non‐motor symptoms that considerably deteriorate the quality of life. Pharmacological treatments, primarily levodopa, have been used to manage PD. However, side effects such as dyskinesias and motor fluctuations frequently limit

Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) elicits oscillatory local field potentials in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and other movement disorders. Greater knowledge about the fast dynamics of these neural responses could shed light on circuit pathophysiology and inform novel approaches to neuromodulation therapies.

Stereotactic biopsies of brain lesions Biópsia estereotáxica de lesões encefálicas
OBJECTIVE: In the majority of cases, the correct treatment of brain lesions is possible only when the histopathological diagnosis is made. Several deep-seated lesions near eloquent areas are not safely approached by the classical neurosurgical procedures.

Summary Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies have improved survival in patients with stage IV melanoma. However, the challenges faced by long‐term survivors remain unclear. The long‐term toxicity and psychosocial impact of these treatments in real‐world patients have yet to be reported.
