Innovative Neuromodulation serves as an extensive reference that includes a basic introduction to the relevant aspects of clinical neuromodulation that is followed by an in-depth discussion of the innovative surgical and therapeutic applications that currently exist or are in development.

This information is critical for neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, bioengineers, and other proceduralists, providing a clear presentation of the frontiers of this exciting and medically important area of physiology. As neuromodulation remains an exciting and rapidly advancing field―appealing to many disciplines―the editors’ initial work (Essential Neuromodulation, ۲۰۱۱) is well complemented by this companion volume.

• Presents a comprehensive reference on the emerging field of neuromodulation that features chapters from leading physicians and researchers in the field
• Provides commentary for perspectives on different technologies and interventions to heal and improve neurological deficits
• Contains 300 full-color pages that begin with an overview of the clinical phases involved in neuromodulation, the challenges facing therapies and intraoperative procedures, and innovative solutions for better patient care

Edited by two prominent clinical experts in the field, Innovative Neuromodulation 1e will serve as an extensive reference that includes a basic introduction to the relevant aspects of clinical neuromodulation followed by in-depth discussion of the innovative surgical and therapeutic applications that currently exist or are being developed at present. This information contained is critical for neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, bioengineers, and other proceduralists, providing a clear presentation of the frontiers of this exciting and medically important area of physiology.

As neuromodulation remains an exciting and rapidly advancing field, appealing to many disciplines, the editors’ initial volume (Essential Neuromodulation, ۲۰۱۱) will be well complemented by this companion volume. Innovative Neuromodulation stands on its own, capturing the up-to-date advances and inspiration that currently grip the field.

Jeff Arle, MD, PhD, FAANS

Dr. Arle is currently the Associate Chief of Neurosurgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, the Chief of Neurosurgery at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, and an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School. He received his BA in Biopsychology from Columbia University in 1986 and his MD and PhD from the University of Connecticut in 1992. His dissertation work for his doctorate in Biomedical Sciences was in computational modeling in the Cochlear Nucleus. He then went on to do a residency in neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania, incorporating a double fellowship in movement disorder surgery and epilepsy surgery under Drs. Patrick Kelly, Ron Alterman, and Werner Doyle, finishing in 1999.
