Neurosurgeons face a huge challenge: there’s no atlas for the brain that could guide them during surgery, for example when they need to remove a brain tumor without damaging the patient’s cognitive functions.
Watch this fascinating DLD24 presentation by Prof. Zvi Ram, Head of the neurosurgery department at Ichilov Medical Center, Tel Aviv, to find out about new scientific solutions to this problem.
You’ll hear about cortical mapping, emotional connectivity, decision-making under conflict – and how all of these aspects come together to help scientists identify critical areas of the brain that need to be protected during neurosurgery.
