This study reevaluates the conventional understanding of midbrain anatomy and neuroanatomical nomenclature in the context of recent genetic and anatomical discoveries. The authors assert that the midbrain should be viewed as an integral part of the forebrain due to shared genetic determinants and evolutionary lineage. The isthmo-mesencephalic boundary is recognized as a significant organizer for both the caudal midbrain and the isthmo-cerebellar area.

- Sarcoma spinal metastases (SSM) are tough to treat because they don’t respond well to chemotherapy and are resistant to radiation.
- Researchers looked at 70 patients who received special radiation treatment called SSRS for these tumors over 16 years, finding that it helped control local tumors in most cases.
- The study showed that the more radiation given to the tumor, the better the chances of preventing it from coming back, although some patients did experience side effects like fractures.
Over the past 30 years, the treatment of deep and eloquent arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has moved away from microneurosurgical resection and towards medical management and the so-called minimally invasive techniques, such as endovascular embolization and radiosurgery. The Spetzler-Martin grading system (and subsequent modifications) has done much to aid in risk stratification for surgical intervention; however, the system does not predict the risk of hemorrhage nor risk from other interventions. In more recent years, the ARUBA trial has suggested that unruptured AVMs should be medically managed.
