new brain surgery

It's marvellous news and gives so much hope for those who will hopefully be given the surgery.

My brother in law is seeing his consultant next February and is hoping to have a conversation that might result in him taking advantage of this procedure. Fingers crossed.

This is fantastic news. It is early days but I do hope it will prove to be beneficial for Parkinson's, for example.

I agree it was fantastic and I hope that this technique can be extended to zapping tumours eventually.

Fantastic medical advance and great news
Sadly, It has come too late for my lovely papa who had PD from his early 40s. The procedure will not be available for another year as the man we saw undergoing it was in one of the trials.
Wonderful that it may alleviate MS and other linked neurological conditions.

Reading the op's title I thought quite sadly I could do with a new brain. The old one seems to have filled up.

Me too, Luckygirl

It is one of those books that stays in your head ...

You have just cost me come money grannyknot - couldn't resist buying the kindle book. Very well reviewed.

cath9 you too are a walking, talking testament to the wonders of brain surgery, of the times (1970s). Amazing. How tough that must have been.

I read this book recently, not for the fainthearted, but what a man Henry Marsh is:

It looks brilliant - but I guess by the time it is fully available it will be too late for my OH with his PD.

It does look amazing, the advances in medical science seem to be leaping by bounds lately.
