Neuronavigation is the application of navigation to neurosurgery, as information on the location of the lesion and the direction to safely approach the lesion is necessary to improve the surgical outcome. Neuronavigation systems have continued to advance in accuracy and convenience and are now standardized and essential. Neuronavigation provides information on the precise localization and delineation of lesions during surgery using registered images. Such devices are most useful in brain tumor surgery and used in almost all neurosurgical operations. However, since preoperative images are used, neuronavigation does not consider real-time information, and errors may occur during or after the registration step [1,2]. Moreover, if surgeons rely too much on neuronavigation and lack understanding of the system’s principles and errors, surgery may become more difficult. There are two systems of neuronavigation: frame-based system and frameless system. We describe the principles, methods of use, pitfalls, and errors of the widely used frameless neuronavigation system.","PeriodicalId":193825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124110051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proper diagnosis, timing of surgery and precise targeting are important factors for good clinical outcome of DBS. Unlike other surgery, clinical course of the DBS is not only determined by operation itself, but also by how electrical stimulations are performed after the operation [2-4]. In this review, DBS programming indicates adjusting parameters of electrical stimulation of DBS. Adjustment of DBS parameter is only a modifiable factor affecting clinical outcome of DBS [2,4]. However, many clinicians have difficulties in adjusting DBS parameters. This is because DBS parameters are not adjusted in clinical term, but have to be controlled in electrical or electrophysiological language [5]. Furthermore, mechanism of action how DBS improves symptoms of movement disorders is yet to be elucidated [6,7]. Therefore, most clinicians manage their patients who underwent DBS by personal experiences or anecdotal evidences rather than by understanding mechanisms of actions [4]. It is important to understand the mechanism of DBS not only because of the desire to know, but also because of future development of neuromodulation. In the future, DBS is highly likely to be developed as a surgical treatment for several functional brain disorders, such as pain, obsessive compulsive disorder, memory impairment, addiction, and depression [7]. If more complex brain network modulation is attempted without clearing up the confusion about the effect of DBS, there is a possibility that it will only increase confusion about why DBS is effective for these diseases.

Although no studies have analyzed the effects of the Spanish influenza on the nervous system, research has been conducted on nervous system involvement in previous outbreaks of coronaviruses, including SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
