Research Group Experimental Neurosurgery and Neuroanatomy

Experimental Neurosurgery and Neuroanatomy Research Group.

There are 6 research entities within this group, each with multiple lines of research:

1. Experimental neuroanatomy: study of craniofacial implants, intrauterine neurosurgery and applied neuroanatomy.

2. Functional neurosurgery: study of brain function presentation in monkey and human, deep brain stimulation for psychiatric and movement disorders, study of spinal cord stimulation for gait disorders in Parkinson's disease and study of neuromodulation in central pain syndrome after stroke.

3. Brain trauma research: prediction of secondary brain damage after trauma, monitoring of cerebral autoregulation and development of bicycle crash helmets.

4. Oncologic neurosurgery: development of new agents for transnasal delivery to modulate the brain tumor environment, general tumor immunology and immunotherapy approaches for brain tumors and peroperative function preservation and tissue alignment in brain tumor surgery.

5. Medullary pathology: understanding and quantifying microstructural damage in the spinal cord in various medullary disorders, such as degenerative cervical myelopathy, acute spinal cord injury and intramedullary tumors. This involves the use of advanced MRI techniques, clinical evaluations and electrophysiological measurements.

6. Neurovascular surgery: development of AI/LM clinical decision-making tool for aneurysm repair, 3D modeling of aneurysms preoperatively and international registration study for cerebral AVM
