This is unrelated to my ISM journey, but this is now my second time writing this blog due to it not saving. Anyway, this past week has been uneventful compared to the others in the past month. But, I do enjoy that as I now have the time and energy to just sit down and learn more about specific topics I'm interested in the broad field of neurosurgery. After receiving advice from Dr. Salah Aoun during my last interview, I decided to research deep brain stimulation once again to gain a full understanding of the entire procedure and how it effects the motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. I thought it was interesting how the electrode that the neurosurgeons implant into the brain is so small and needs to be inserted into a precise location. I also thought it was interesting how the actual results from the procedure occur after quite a bit of time passes. The doctors and surgeons need to work to program the electrodes in the brain to make positive results, so that's why it takes so long. Deep brain stimulation really is a fascinating topic, and it is something I will be including in my original work. I do question how practical it would be to do a mock surgery of the insertion of the electrodes in my second semester. Nonetheless, this past week I 'Started On My Original Work.'
