What Is Functional Neurosurgery?

Functional neurosurgery is from Foer-ster in the 1930s. According to Jackson's theory that epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharge of cortical lesions, surgical removal of epilepsy can treat epilepsy and gradually develop into a branch of neurosurgery. The concept of functional neurosurgery was first introduced in 1956 by Wertheimer. Due to the continuous development of basic scientific research on the human nervous system and the continuous application of various modern science and technology, its concepts are constantly changing and enriching. In the 19th century, people have gained a more systematic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, laying the foundation for modern neurosurgery. ^[1]
