Brain & Spine Group

🧠 Your brain is constantly changing, even while you sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid, which cushions the brain and spinal cord, follows dynamic patterns that vary with your sleep-wake cycle. Follow Brain & Spine Group for more brain & spine facts.

Every neurosurgical journey starts somewhere. 🧠 What first sparked your interest in neurosurgery? Was it... 🔬 Research 🧠 The complexity of the brain 🩺 A clinical experience 👨‍⚕️ A mentor 📚 Something you saw or experienced ✨ Something else?

Surgical skills take hands-on practice. Thank you, @Medtronic, for supporting one of our hands-on Training Camps. Between camps, 880+ free teaching videos are open to all on our YouTube. sbee.link/wr7tuqc9j4 #BrainSpineGroup #ThankYou

Every future neurosurgeon starts somewhere. Access to education, mentorship, and research opportunities can make a meaningful difference along the way. Your support can help sustain these educational initiatives and expand opportunities for future generations.

Progress in neurosurgery depends on asking new questions, investigating complex problems, and sharing discoveries. From clinical research to emerging technologies, research helps expand our understanding of neurological conditions and the possibilities for future patient care.
