Introduction
Neurosurgeons diagnose and treat patients that need surgical operations involving the brain, spine, and nerves. Neurosurgery has been traced to the Stone Age. Remains from the Stone Age were uncovered in France that showed evidence of brain surgery. However, major advancements in neurosurgery didn’t begin until the 1950’s. The advance in neurosurgery started with neurosurgical techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery, a treatment that focuses high amounts of energy on a single spot of the body developed by neurosurgeons to shrink small brain tumors. Since this major neurosurgical techniques have been developed including the operative microscope and MRI, which allow surgeons to magnify small structures and visualize internal …show more content…
This is because the lateral ventricle is divided by walls. The lateral ventricle is a long cavity located in the center of the brain. It contains fluid that is used for communicating with the rest of the body. A neurons is a cell that sends impulses to nerves throughout the body. Neurons are used to control responses to stimuli, such as movement and pain. The wall in the lateral ventricle is divided up into compartments. According to Mercedes Paredes and Shawn Sorrells, this means that in organisms with larger brains, the contribution of neurons is restricted; meaning that some of the neurons in the ventricular wall aren’t sending any signal to the rest of the body and this affects when new neurons are …show more content…
It is recommended that they take anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, calculus, and statistics in high school because those courses are required for a bachelor 's degree in life science. This will reduce the number of college science and math courses that the student has to pay for. It is better to take AP courses rather than honors courses because AP courses will count for college credit if the exam is taken.
A Doctor of Medicine or MD must be obtained to become a surgeon. This degree is achieved by passing medical school. In order to be accepted into medical school the student has to have a bachelor 's degree, but the subject of the bachelor’s degree doesn’t matter. Students are accepted into medical school with a bachelor degree in any subject, but it is most common for a bachelor’s in science. However, some medical schools require prerequisites to attend. Before going to medical school, the MCAT has to be taken. Once in medical school, the first two years include lab experience and medical coursework, such as pathology, anatomy, or microbiology. The last two years involve working near doctors with real-world situations. This also contains specialized coursework, such as neurology, psychology, or
