Informing neurosurgical decisions with connectomics

September 12th, 2021

8AM - 2PM Western Indonesia Time

The field of connectomics has vastly updated our understanding of neurological anatomy especially in identifying critical brain network structures that facilitate neurological processes. Such information is crucial for neurosurgeons to inform surgical decision-making.

This course explores surgical disconnections and trajectories, and how to practically use connectomic information to inform surgical planning. Teaching is conducted through hands-on application of connectomic software and detailed lab exercises.

It will conclude with a lecture on neurorehabilitation.

Hosted by the ISMINS and Omniscient Neurotechnology with Michael Sughrue MD

Highlights

  • Review updates to neuroanatomy as informed by connectomics
  • Explore lesions in eight regions of the brain and trajectories and approaches to perform disconnections
  • Utilize connectomic software to improve neurosurgical planning
  • Explore transformational updates to neurorehabilitation informed by connectomics

Learning objectives

  1. The learner will be familiarized with what “connectomic” information is in the context of neurosurgery and gain an understanding of how it can be used to inform surgical decision-making.
  2. The learner will be able to name major networks involved in common dissections and assess the impact of manipulating them through surgery
  3. The learner will gain experience with use information of the location and integrity of brain networks around pathology to plan trajectories that reduce potential deficit
