Abstract
Neurosurgery, a relatively young and very complex area of medical practice, has reached incredible successes over the 100 years of its development as an independent trend largely due to the integration of research achievements and the improvement of medical equipment and surgical methods. At the same time, neurosurgery itself has always been a source of basic knowledge on the nervous system, not only drawing information from areas such as genetics, biochemistry, and physiology but also enriching them with data about pathological and normal states, as well as about the functioning of the nervous system. This process of cross-fertilization, stimulated by the emergence of ever-newer technological opportunities, not only demonstrates the productivity of research that interfaces basic and practice-oriented disciplines but also holds out hope for increasing the positive statistics about the number of patients with various traumas and organic diseases saved and returned to normal life, in particular, by methods of neuroprotection and stimulation of neurogenesis, or at least for improving the quality of life in the case of irremediable diseases, including neuromodulation methods.
