Abstract
In its broadest sense, functional neurosurgery includes the surgical treatment of pain, movement disorders, epilepsy, and psychiatric conditions. Fundamentally, the field is dedicated to treat pathological activity in circuits associated with a wide range of neurological conditions. Generally speaking, this can be achieved through stereotactic methods using lesioning or electrical stimulation of key brain structures. As a basic principle, the targeted structure represents a crucial hub within the circuit of interest: the motor circuit is targeted in Parkinson’s disease, whereas structures implicated in mood regulation are targeted in psychiatric disorders and cognitive circuits in dementias and memory disorders [1].
