title: Odyssey between the constellations and neuromedicine.
abstract: The constellations have some connections with neuromedicine. As neurosurgeons, we can learn something from the night sky. Medical terms or descriptions are generously used from mythology or celestial lore. Neurosurgeons spend so much time on their professional careers that they may ignore something wonderful which is worthy of their attention. The puzzling issues between the constellations and neuromedicine can be exciting. Imagination allows neurosurgery to make great strides and progression. With that same imagination we can take an odyssey!
