MENINGIOMA SURGERY. Photo essay at La Louviere clinic, France. Neurosurgery. Ablation of a cerebral tumor (here an agressive meningioma) assisted by a neuronavigation. The neuronavigation, the same way as a GPS, permits from a pre-established MRI, to locate in the space the position of patient in the surgery room. The aquisition of targeting data for the craniotomy is then facilitated. After the aperture of the cranial box, the neurosurgeon starts by removing the part of the meninges inve

A patient with Parkinson's disease is treated with thalamic stimulation : electrods are inserted into the brain and fed with a thalamic pacemaker implanted in the thorax. This neurosurgery is performed with the O-ARM Imaging System. This motorized intra-operative multi-dimensional surgical imaging platform provides real-time high resolution fluoroscopy and 3D CT scan imaging, and allows high precision and safety surgical procedures. Here, the position of the electrods in patient's brain is check

Illustration of areas in the brain that age little. In particular the prefrontal cortex implicated in decision-making (pink area), the amygdala that deals with emotions (irregular green sphere) and the hippocampus that deals with memory (purple). New neurons are born in the hippocampus throughout our lives and migrate to the olfactory bulb (not shown here).
