Minimally invasive interventions are surgical procedures that are conducted through small incisions or natural orifices, under reduced tissue exposure. This approach to medical interventions is motivated by improved outcomes, primarily due to the reduction in trauma to the patient …
In this first 2015 issue of the newsletter, we highlight ground-breaking research on the brain that will help us better understand its intricate functions and potentially offer new insights into neurological diseases. These efforts have been spurred by major investments in brain research by governments …
