Introduction: In vivo neural recordings from primates require the installation of implants on the skull of the animal. Despite some improvements, current routines risk predisposition to infection and failure or impose constant discomfort by placing heaviness on the top of the head.
Methods: A custom-designed imaging adapter was obtained by magnetic resonance and computerized tomography (CT) imaging of the head region.

Purpose: This study aims to measure the peri-incisional numbness developing after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) performed using the midline skin incision. It studies the natural course of the numbness and determines its correlation with the skin incision length (SIL).
Materials & Methods: 66 knees undergoing primary TKA with a standard midline incision were evaluated.

The underlying mechanism of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly people remains unclear. Perioperative hyperglycemia (POHG) is an independent risk indicator for POD, particularly in the elderly. Under cerebral desaturation (hypoxia) during general anesthesia, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is neuroprotective during cerebral hypoxia via diverse pathways, like glucose metabolism and angiogenesis.

Background: This historical account reviews the life and times of Mildred Codding (1902-1991) in neurosurgery and medical illustration.
Methods: The writing of this project was sparked by the discovery of original scientific and bibliographical information about Codding, testimony on personal relationships, and viewpoints after comprehensive compilation of information.
Results: Mildred Codding learned the carbon dust technique from Max Brödel at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, Maryland USA), and worked at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, now Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston, Massachusetts, USA).

Background: Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is an effective surgical treatment for neuropathic pain in amputees. Qualitative descriptions of pain, depicted by pain sketches, could enhance the understanding of symptomatic improvement after surgery. Our aim is to assess whether preoperative pain sketches, drawn by lower extremity (LE) amputees, can predict surgical outcomes after secondary TMR surgery.
