In the realm of ideas: the advent of advanced surgery of the human cerebrum and neurosurgical education.
High technology has recently exerted remarkable positive forces within the field of neurological surgery. Striking developments in brain imaging, stereotaxy, molecular biology, radiation physics and complex data management promise to revolutionize surgery of the human cerebrum. These changes are not without profound impact on national health care economics and present enormous philosophical and educational challenges which will create considerable turmoil over the next decades.
