Although French psychiatrist-turned-neurosurgeon Jean Talairach (1911–2007) is perhaps best known for the stereotaxic atlas he produced with Pierre Tournoux and Gábor Szikla, he has left his mark on most aspects of modern stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. In the field of psychosurgery, he expressed critique of the practice of prefrontal lobotomy and subsequently was the first to describe the more selective approach using stereotactic bilateral anterior capsulotomy. Turning his attention to stereotaxy, Talairach spearheaded the team at Hôpital Sainte-Anne in the construction of novel stereotaxic apparatus. Cadaveric investigation using these tools and methods resulted in the first human stereotaxic atlas where the use of the anterior and posterior commissures as intracranial reference points was established. This work revolutionized the approach to cerebral localization as well as leading to the development of numerous novel stereotactic interventions by the Sainte-Anne team, including tumor biopsy, interstitial irradiation, thermal ablation, and endonasal procedures. Together with epileptologist Jean Bancaud, Talairach invented the field of stereo-electroencephalography and developed a robust scientific methodology for the assessment and treatment of epilepsy. In this article the authors review Talairach’s career trajectory in its historical context and in view of its impact on modern stereotactic and functional neurosurgery.

Abstract TUMORS AND OTHER structural lesions located with and adjacent to the cerebral cortex present certain challenges in terms of the overall management and design of surgical strategies. This comprehensive analysis attempts to define the current understanding of cerebral localization and function and includes the latest advances in functional imaging, as well as surgical technique, including localization of tumors and neurophysiological mapping to maximize extent of resection while minimizing morbidity. Finally, it remains to be seen whether or not stimulation mapping will be the most useful way to identify function within the cortex in the future. Another potential paradigm would be to actually record baseline oscillatory rhythms within the cortex and, following presentation of a given task, determine if those rhythms are disturbed enough to identify eloquent cortex as a means of functional localization. This would be a paradigm shift away from stimulation mapping, which currently deactivates the cortex, as opposed to identifying an activation function which identifies functional cortex.

Cerebral Localization

Mucormycoses are opportunistic, rare, aggressive, often rapidly fatal infections caused by fungi of the zygomycete class. They are most often associated with decompensated diabetes or immunosuppression. They manifest themselves in different forms, the rhino-cerebral localization of which is the most frequent. The early diagnosis of this affection is essentially based on the histopathological analysis. Therefore, it must be evoked and sought by biopsies in any diabetic or immunocompromised patient suffering from complicated rhinosinusitis. We present in this work the case of a 14-year-old patient who suffered from rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis successfully treated in our department of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery.

The history of neurosurgery falls naturally into the premodern era, where it is essentially the history of surgery to the skull and of head injuries, and the modern era, where it is the history of surgery to the brain itself, made possible by cerebral localization theory, antisepsis, and anaesthesia, all of which developed in the nineteenth century. The first known neurosurgical procedures were skull trephines, seemingly carried out on both the living and the dead. It is unclear whether these were performed for therapeutic or ritualistic reasons. There are many trepanned skulls dating back thousands of years to the Neolithic era, and perhaps to even earlier, from sites all over the world.
