About this ebook
Neuroscience for Neurosurgeons (1st Edition, 2024), edited by Farhana Akter, Nigel Emptage, Florian Engert, and Mitchel S. Berger, bridges basic neuroscientific research with its direct translational applications to clinical neurosurgery. [1, 2]
The textbook is structured into two distinct sections that guide the reader from core scientific theories to specific pathological conditions. [1]

Section 1: Basic and Computational Neuroscience
This section covers foundational neurological systems, physiology, and modern technological tools reshaping the field: [1]
  • Neuroanatomy: Comprehensive analysis of structure, cranial landmarks, and structural pathways.
  • Cerebral Autoregulation: Mechanisms governing blood flow, pressure control, and oxygenation dynamics in the brain.
  • Neuroimmune Interactions: The role of the central immune response in injury, health, and tumor environments.
  • Anatomy and Physiology of the Neuron: Detailed breakdown of the cellular soma, dendrites, and axons.
  • Synaptic Transmission: Exploration of chemical and electrical communication channels across neuronal junctions.
  • Electrical Signaling & Potentials: Mechanisms behind resting membrane potential and action potential generation.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: Computational approaches, diagnostics, and algorithm use in modern neurosurgery. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Section 2: Clinical and Pathophysiological Applications
This section zeroes in on the mechanisms and management of specific neurosurgical conditions: []
  • Gliomas: Molecular pathways, tumor progression, and oncology.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Pathophysiology of brain trauma and downstream tissue cascades.
  • Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Mechanisms of spinal cord compression and structural decay.
  • Peripheral Nerve Injury: Functional deficits, denervation, and regeneration limits.
  • Craniosynostosis: Pediatric developmental biology and cranial suture pathologies. [, 2, 3]
