Functional Neurosurgery
Functional neurosurgery is a medical specialty that involves the surgical treatment of neurological disorders involving the nervous system, such as movement or memory disorders. It seeks to improve patient’s quality of life by altering their neurological functions via surgical intervention. Its ultimate goal is to restore patient’s neurological functions to a more normal state, providing relief from their neurological disorder. This may include deep brain stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, or targeted lesionectomy. Functional neurosurgery has proven to be an effective treatment for neurological disorders and has helped many patients regain quality of life. It holds great promise for the future of neuroscience and medical research.
