Radioneuromodulation of Nucleus Accumbens for Addiction: The First Animal Study.

Objective: Addiction is a serious spiral where negative events or relationships trigger a craving even when the situation is caused by the addiction in the first place. Nucleus accumbens is identified as an important hub for the neural pathways involved in the addictive behavior. Stimulation of this structure was demonstrated to be beneficial for addiction previously, but radioneuromodulation was never investigated until today.

Beyond human in neurosurgical exams: ChatGPT's success in the Turkish neurosurgical society proficiency board exams.

Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is a sophisticated natural language model that employs advanced deep learning techniques and is trained on extensive datasets to produce responses akin to human conversation for user inputs. In this study, ChatGPT's success in the Turkish Neurosurgical Society Proficiency Board Exams (TNSPBE) is compared to the actual candidates who took the exam, along with identifying the types of questions it answered incorrectly, assessing the quality of its responses, and evaluating its performance based on the difficulty level of the questions. Scores of all 260 candidates were recalculated according to the exams they took and included questions in those exams for ranking purposes of this study.
