Clinical Translation of Neuroscience Advances
edited by
Dennis A. Turner
Modern Neurosurgery presents work on emerging developments in neurosurgery which may have a profound impact on the field.
Focusing on how increased understanding of brain function affects clinical neuroscience, Modern Neurosurgery explores the interface between neuroscience developments and clinical neuroscience advances by examining hypotheses that drive this evolution.
Modern Neurosurgery also reviews the underpinnings of new neurosurgical techniques, treatments, and conceptual approaches, underscoring what needs to be done in each field to lead to further improvements
