  International experts present in this volume advances in reconstructive neurosurgery focusing on the fields of neurotrauma and neurodegenerative disorders. The highlights include building an international strategy for risk reduction, documenting an multidisciplinary approach towards restoration of function in paraplegic spinal cord-injured patients, describing a new approach for statistical analysis in traumatic brain injury trials, describing blood flow changes in diffuse brain injury, discussing rehabilitation programs in Germany following acute brain injury, describing research data from Taiwan on neurotrauma, and showing the neuropsychiatric effects from deep brain stimulation for movement disorders. The highlights also include defining the role played by imaging for deep brain stimulation targeting in mental illness, using radiosurgery in decompression in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, describing the development of radiosurgery from brain to the spine, listing new transgenic animal models of Parkinson's disease, discussing gene therapy for neuropathic pain and Parkinson's disease, and finally, discussing constrained-induced movement therapy for stroke patients, and endovascular therapy for cerebrovenous disorders.
