Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery edited by Guido Nikkhah, Marcus Pinsker.

Since its introduction about sixty years ago, stereotactic and functional neurosurgery has evolved into a fascinating and interdisciplinary endeavor that combines modern neurosurgery, neurobiology, and neuroimaging with innovative diagnostic and treatment strategies. In this collection, acknowledged...
