Functional neurosurgery : the essentials
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.

Deep Brain Stimulation
The one-stop resource on deep brain stimulation for functional neurosurgeons!
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to modulate dysfunctional circuits in the brain with stimulation pulses applied to specific target areas of the brain. Globally, DBS procedures have been most commonly performed for Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, but there are now new and growing research efforts studying DBS for psychiatric disorders and epilepsy.
Deep Brain Stimulation: Techniques and Practices written by the Society for Innovative Neuroscience in Neurosurgery along with Dr. William S. Anderson and distinguished experts presents the latest DBS approaches. The book begins with a history of DBS, general frame-based techniques, patient selection primarily for movement disorders, multidisciplinary collaboration, and ethical considerations. Subsequent chapters detail diverse technologies and disease-specific treatment for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, OCD, epilepsy, major depression, Tourette syndrome, emerging psychiatric indications, and pediatric applications.
Key highlights
* Lead placement techniques utilizing currently available customized platforms and robotics
* Microelectrode recording and image-based direct targeting with MRI and CT to enhance lead placement
* Lesioning methods including radiofrequency, and MR-guided focused ultrasound
* Discussion of recent innovations in tractography to delineate white matter tracts in the brain and closed loop stimulation
DBS has helped thousands of patients with intractable conditions, allowing for a programmable therapy with durable treatment effect. This remarkable guide provides the essentials for functional neurosurgeons to pursue intraoperative research opportunities in this growing subspecialty and incorporate DBS into clinical practice.

CHILDREN'S BOOKS
The traditional folk songs and unusual selection of yarns were collected by the children's book editor [Ann Durell] from various American regions and ethnic groups. The songs range from zippy (''Buffalo Gal,'' ''Yankee Doodle,'' ''Clementine,'' ''I've Been Working on the Railroad'') to melancholy (''On Top of Old Smokey,'' ''Swing Low, Sweet Chariot'') and sweet (''Billy Boy''). Ms. [DIANE GOODE] translates the pulse and mood of each into witty illustrations. The stories include the somewhat familiar (''Davy Crockett Meets His Match'' and ''Good or Bad?''), the not so familiar (''The Three Girls With the Journey-Cakes,'' ''The Talking Mule''), the humorous (''The Greedy Wife,'' ''The Twist-Mouth Family,'' ''The Knee-High Man''), the animal fable (''The Coyote and the Bear'') and the shivery ghost tale (''Wait Till Martin Comes'').
