From Drop to Ocean: Stereotactic & Functional/Pain - Andre G. Machado, MD, PhD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Andrei Machado, in his presentation on stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, explores the historical and scientific advancements that have shaped the field. He traces its roots back to ancient trigonometry and navigation techniques, drawing parallels with modern-day neurosurgical practices such as using fiducials and stereotaxis. He emphasizes the importance of cartography in brain mapping, advances in imaging technologies, and the role of electricity in understanding and treating neurological conditions. Dr. Machado invites participation in future discussions, highlighting the continuous evolution and ethical considerations of these medical technologies.
