Summary
Functional neurosurgery is the branch of neurosurgery that seeks to restore or improve neurologic function by manipulation of neural activity. Here we provide a brief review of the pathobiology of the disease processes functional neurosurgery addresses: movement disorders including Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, epilepsy, chronic pain, and psychiatric diseases including obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, and addiction. We also review emerging applications of neurosurgical techniques including deep brain stimulation not yet prevalent in clinical practice including brain–computer interfaces and disorders of consciousness. Finally, we discuss emerging technology likely to be useful in this rapidly advancing field, including high-density neural recordings, gene therapy, optogenetics, and stem-cell therapy.
