Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#70: Rees Cosgrove – When Neurosurgery Chooses You: Rediscovering the Lost Art of Lesions and the Future of Brain Stimulation
Q: What do you see as the ideal patient for ablative surgery in psychiatry versus newer treatments like DBS and TMS?
Ablative surgery remains vital, especially for patients where resective surgery is possible, as its outcomes can offer significant benefits that some newer methods may not.
#70: Rees Cosgrove – When Neurosurgery Chooses You: Rediscovering the Lost Art of Lesions and the Future of Brain Stimulation
Q: How important is mentorship and training for the next generation for you?
I much prefer being a program director than a chair; I love watching trainees develop into mature, capable neurosurgeons and just seeing how they carry it forward.
#70: Rees Cosgrove – When Neurosurgery Chooses You: Rediscovering the Lost Art of Lesions and the Future of Brain Stimulation
Q: What are the next steps in functional neurosurgery that you are most excited about?
Low intensity focused ultrasound is the next dimension; it allows for non-lesional neuromodulation, providing long-sustained effects without the need for physical instruments in the brain.
#70: Rees Cosgrove – When Neurosurgery Chooses You: Rediscovering the Lost Art of Lesions and the Future of Brain Stimulation
Q: What advice would you give your younger self when you were just getting started in your career?
Always remain a student, read everything you can, observe carefully, and always measure your outcomes, because you can always get better and better, and be open to opportunity.
#71: Harold Sackeim - The founding editor of Brain Stimulation and a founding figure in modern electroconvulsive therapy
Q: Can you discuss the origins of ECT and why it was poorly researched before your involvement?
ECT was first used in 1934 and lacked good scientific validation until more recently, often considered a pre-scientific era for its development.
