Opportunities and challenges for neurosurgeon in the brain research era

Abstract

Abstract:

The neurosurgeons of PLA General Hospital are making effort to participate in the China Brain Project from the aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine, namely "STEM". We initiated the brain research by utilizing central nervous system tumor and other brain diseases as unique study models, and leveraging specific technologies such as neuroimaging, intraoperative electrical stimulation and intracranial electroencephalography. Moreover, we further combine engineering advances with brain-inspired intelligence as well as novel materials to develop minimally invasive or non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) devices. With the aim of diagnosis and intervention of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other major brain diseases, we have used physical neuromodulation (such as sound, light, electricity, magnetism, etc.) for therapeutic treatments of these brain disorders, so as to contribute to the brain research and clinical translation in China in a significant way.

Key words: Neurosciences, Neurosurgery, Brain diseases, Review

摘要：

解放军总医院第一医学中心神经外科团队从"STEM"即科学（Science）、技术（Technology）、工程（Engineering）和医学（Medicine）共四个层面积极参与"中国脑计划"，利用中枢神经系统肿瘤等疾病模型和神经影像学、术中电刺激和颅内脑电技术之优势进行脑科学研究；同时联合类脑学、材料学等领域的工程力量，研制新型微创或无创性脑机接口设备；以阿尔茨海默病等重大中枢神经系统疾病的诊治为临床导向，利用声、光、电、磁等物理调控技术以延缓脑疾病的进展，为我国脑科学的基础研究和临床转化贡献力量。
