The neurophysiological study has been widely used in the search of the relation between brain and behavior. The basic techniques for the animal experiments of this kind such as stereotaxic techniques, lesioning methods, the methods of electrical stimulation and confirmation of histological location were simply reviewed. Nevertheless, the importance of complementary neurochemical, neuroanatomical and behavioral studies can not be neglected.

동물에서 전기현상은 1773년 최초로 발견되었으며, 최근에는 이론과 기술적 면에서의 현저한 발전으로 뇌기능의 기전을 밝히는 도구로서, 또한 심리적 과정에 근저한 행동 및 신경생리학적 기전을 규명하는데 유용하게 사용되고 있을 뿐만아니라 치료적 목적으로도 사용되고 있다. 저자는 뇌와 행동의 기전을 연구하는 한 방법으로서 신경생리학적 접근에 흔히 사용되는 기본적인 기법을 간략히 정리해 보았다. 여기서는 주로 전기생리학적 기법에 중점을 둘 것이나, 병소화와 자극의 부위를 확인하는데 필요한 신경해부학적 기법에 대해서도 간단히 언급하였다. 실험동물의 선택, 실험동물의 관리, 실험동물의 마취에 있어서 약물투여의 원칙, 투여경로 및 용량 등 동물실험에 있어서 기본적으로 알아야할 사항에 대해서 실제적으로 언급하였다. 전기생리학적 실험에 필요한 정위법, 비선택적 및 선택적 병소화 기법, 전기적 자극법(일반적인 방법, 세포외 및 세포내 자극, 미세자극법, 뇌의 심부자극), 측정 및 기록을 위한 제반 기법을 소개하고 실예를 보여주며, 조직학적인 부위 확인을 위해 필요한 일연의 과정으로서 심장내관류법과 흔히 사용되는 신경계의 염색법에 대해서 간략히 설명하였다. 또한 기능상의 변화를 측정하는데 필요한 행동검사의 종류도 언급하였다. 신경생리학적 연구 방법은 뇌와 행동의 관계를 밝히는데 널리 사용되고 있다. 저자는 신경생리학적 동물실험에 많이 쓰이고 있는 기법으로서 정위법, 병소만들기, 전기적 자극, 측정 및 기록, 조직학적 부위 확인 등 일연의 과정에 대해 간략히 설명하였다. 그러나 이러한 연구의 결과는 신경화학적 연구, 기능을 점검해 볼 수 있는 행동학적 연구로서 보완이 될 때에 믿을만한 결론을 도출해 낼 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objective : To describe our experiences with a fully equipped high-end digital subtraction angiography (DSA) system within a hybrid operating room (OR). Methods : A single-plane DSA system with 3-dimensional rotational angiography, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and real-time navigation software was used in our hybrid OR. Between April 2014 and January 2018, 191 sessions of cerebrovascular procedures were performed in our hybrid OR. After the retrospective review of all cases, the procedures were categorized into three subcategorical procedures : combined endovascular and surgical procedure, complementary rescue procedure during intervention and surgery, and frameless stereotaxic operation. Results : Forty-nine of 191 procedures were performed using hybrid techniques. Four cases of blood blister aneurysms and a ruptured posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm were treated using bypass surgery and endovascular trapping. Eight cases of ruptured aneurysm with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) were treated by partial embolization and surgical clipping. Six cases of ruptured arteriovenous malformation with ICH were treated by Onyx embolization of nidus and subsequent surgical removal of nidus and ICH. Two (5.4%) of the 37 cases of pre-mature rupture during clipping were secured by endovascular coil embolization. In one (0.8%) complicated case of 103 intra-arterial thrombectomy procedures, emergency surgical embolectomy with bypass surgery was performed. In 27 cases of ICH, frameless stereotaxic hematoma aspiration was performed using $XperGuide^{(R)}$ system (Philips Medical Systems, Best, the Netherlands). All procedures were performed in single sessions without any procedural complications. Conclusion : Hybrid OR with a fully equipped DSA system could provide precise and safe treatment strategies for cerebrovascular diseases. Especially, we could suggest a strategy to cope flexibly in complex lesions or unexpected situations in hybrid OR. CBCT with real-time navigation software could augment the usefulness of hybrid OR.

In the past 10 years, modern technology has made deep seated obscure lesions visible. With development of computer technology and various stereotaxic techniques, many new procedures. refinement of old procedures, and development of new applications are possible. The authors are intended to provide a detailed description of our experience with the Brown-Roberts-Wells(BRW) stereotactic system in the evaluation and management of 90 patients with intracranial lesions, and to provide cases presentation of various inaccessible intracranial lesions.

유뇨증은 발병기전이 단일한 원인으로 설명되기 어려운 임상적으로 복합적인 질병이다. 유전적 요인, 신경근육계 및 비뇨기계의 미성숙, 심리사회적 요인이나 대소변 가리기 훈련의 이상, 그리고 생물학적 요인 등 여러 가지 원인론들이 있으나 아직 확실한 것은 없다. 그러나 최근 신경생리학적 연구와 신경 내분비학적 연구들의 결과, 야뇨증과 수면주기와의 관련성이나 야간의 항이뇨호르몬 (antidiuretic hormone) 분비 저하와의 관련성 등 보고되어 야뇨증의 치료에 있어 새로운 접근을 가능하게 하고 있다. Vasopressin 이 우수한 치료율, 안전성, 적은 부작용 등으로 새로운 치료약물로서 시도되고 있으나 재발율이 높아, imipramine또는 vasopressin의 투여와 Bell-alarm행동요법을 병행하여 치료하는 것이 바람직하다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Brain Stereotactic Surgery with a systematic review. Methods: Electronic literature was searched using KoreaMed, Ovid-MEDLINE, Ovid-EMBASE, and Cochrane Library on 6th April 2017. Two authors screened 1218 citations. Duplicated articles of 456 excluded, the remaining 762 articles were reviewed with title and abstract. Results: A total of 8 studies were selected in this review. The device used in all studies was $ROSA^{TM}$. In one cohort study comparing the intervention ($ROSA^{TM}$) with the control (conventional stereotactic surgery), hematoma was reported no significant difference between groups. In six descriptive studies, one study reported hematoma 10% (10/100) and temporary nerve impairment 6% (6/100) using the ROSA; while five descriptive study did not report any complications. In one cohort, the localization precision were 1.2 mm in the intervention group and 1.1 mm in the control group; the localization success rate as 78.2% in the intervention group and 76.2% in the control group in one cohort; and the average time for surgery as 130 min for the intervention group and 352 min for the control group in one cohort. Four studies reported the localization success rate as 100%; two out of three articles reported the overall time for surgery as 56 min and 90 min, while one article reported the time as less than one hour in 50% of patients (50/100); two articles reported in epilepsy patients, the condition after the surgery was Engel level I in 66.2%, 75% patients, Engel level II-III in 25%, 26.5% patients, and Engel level 4 in 7.3% patients. Conclusion: Robot-Assisted Brain Stereotactic Surgery is a safe and accurate technique that can significantly reduce the time for the brain stereotactic surgery. However, further studies are needed to generalize the results.
