Stereotactic and functional neurosurgery stand at the forefront of modern neuroscience, offering groundbreaking approaches to treat an array of neurological and psychiatric conditions. These disciplines employ advanced imaging techniques and precise targeting methods to navigate the intricate landscape of the brain with unparalleled accuracy. In stereotactic neurosurgery, three-dimensional coordinates are meticulously calculated to pinpoint specific targets within the brain. This precision enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures such as biopsies, lesion ablations, and deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS, in particular, has revolutionized the management of movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, as well as psychiatric conditions including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depression. By implanting electrodes into precise brain regions, DBS modulates neural circuitry, offering relief from debilitating symptoms and significantly enhancing patients' quality of life. Functional neurosurgery delves deeper into the intricate workings of neural circuits, seeking to modulate brain activity to alleviate symptoms associated with neurological and psychiatric diseases. Techniques such as DBS serve as a powerful tool in this endeavor, offering a targeted approach to neuromodulation. By delivering controlled electrical impulses to specific brain regions, DBS can effectively regulate abnormal neural activity, offering relief from symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and dyskinesias in movement disorders, as well as mood disturbances and cognitive impairments in psychiatric conditions.
