In this 2nd Lecture in his 9 session series on Professor Hugues Duffau on Brain Surgery of the Future, discusses  Awake Functional-Guided Surgery; A masterclass on How I do it". He describes his operative set up,  the intra-operative Neuropsychological Testing which is performed as he does the surgery. He uses no microscope, no subcortical coagulation. He is guided by his integrated knowledge of the the anatomical tracts, preoperative imaging  (which has its limitations in brain shift and neuro-plasticity), Neuropsychological  testing pre-and intra-operatively, and his identification of the fiber tract connections related to the individual's desires for Quality of Life Survival. His presentation is followed by a Q and A session with the audience regarding many points of his work. This is an excellent follow up of his previous lecture in this series.  (90 minutes of Lecture and Discussion) Good for Video and Podcast.   PRINT
