SSG Virtual Connectomics Course: 
Informing neurosurgical disconnections with connectomics

Recordings

Course details


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 two-part course explores eight 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.

Hosted by the Subcortical Surgical Group 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
