Hunt Batjer, I welcome you to Washington, DC for the 2011 CNS Annual Meeting, E Pluribus Unum: The Specialty of Neurological Surgery. This year, we are pleased to once again partner with an international society, the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery, who has been instrumental in planning our 61st Annual Meeting along with our Scientific Program Committee. Our dynamic scientific program offers the expert lectures, case- based courses and sessions, and hands-on training opportunities you need to advance your practice in the constantly changing field of neurosurgery. Centered on our sub-theme, To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield, our Sunday evening Opening Session and daily General Scientific Sessions address the challenges we as neurosurgeons face in our daily practice and the quest we embark on to ensure our specialty’s future. Our invited speakers—including US Army General (Ret.) Stanley McChrystal and Pulitzer Prize Winning Author, Jon Meacham—will amplify our theme through their lessons on leadership in President’s Message President’s challenging environments. This CNS Original Science Program highlights the most important clinical developments and basic science research. On Monday afternoon, the Original Science Program features the top Oral Presentations in each subspecialty, followed by the interactive Neurosurgical Forum, while Wednesday afternoon offers a NEW Multidisciplinary Oral Presentations featuring top research that crosses subspecialties.

  • The Collision of Frontal Lobe Theory and Psychosurgery at the 1935 International Neurological Congress in London
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 43 (3):E4, 2017 The early argument for prefrontal leucotomy: the collision of frontal lobe theory and psychosurgery at the 1935 International Neurological Congress in London Lillian B. Boettcher, BA, and Sarah T. Menacho, MD Department of Neurosurgery, Clinical Neurosciences Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah The pathophysiology of mental illness and its relationship to the frontal lobe were subjects of immense interest in the latter half of the 19th century. Numerous studies emerged during this time on cortical localization and frontal lobe theory, drawing upon various ideas from neurology and psychiatry. Reflecting the intense interest in this region of the brain, the 1935 International Neurological Congress in London hosted a special session on the frontal lobe. Among other presentations, Yale physiologists John Fulton and Carlyle Jacobsen presented a study on frontal lobectomy in primates, and neurologist Richard Brickner presented a case of frontal ablation for olfactory meningioma performed by the Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Walter Dandy. Both occurrences are said to have influenced Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz (1874–1955) to commence performing leucotomies on patients beginning in late 1935. Here the authors review the relevant events related to frontal lobe theory leading up to the 1935 Neurological Congress as well as the extent of this meeting’s role in the genesis of the modern era of psychosurgery. https://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2017.6.FOCUS17249 KEY WORDS leucotomy; psychosurgery; frontal lobe N 1936, Egas Moniz published his first report on per- Neurological Congress in London in 1935.

  • History Early History
    Cable News Network, almost always referred to by its initialism CNN, is a U.S. cable newsnetwork founded in 1980 by Ted Turner.[1][2] Upon its launch, CNN was the first network to provide 24-hour television news coverage,[3] and the first all-news television network in the United States.[4]While the news network has numerous affiliates, CNN primarily broadcasts from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, the Time Warner Center in New York City, and studios in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. CNN is owned by parent company Time Warner, and the U.S. news network is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System.[5] CNN is sometimes referred to as CNN/U.S. to distinguish the North American channel from its international counterpart, CNN International. As of June 2008, CNN is available in over 93 million U.S. households.[6] Broadcast coverage extends to over 890,000 American hotel rooms,[6] and the U.S broadcast is also shown in Canada. Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories.[7] In terms of regular viewers (Nielsen ratings), CNN rates as the United States' number two cable news network and has the most unique viewers (Nielsen Cume Ratings).[8] History Early history CNN's first broadcast with David Walkerand Lois Hart on June 1, 1980. Main article: History of CNN: 1980-2003 The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday June 1, 1980. After an introduction by Ted Turner, the husband and wife team of David Walker and Lois Hart anchored the first newscast.[9] Since its debut, CNN has expanded its reach to a number of cable and satellite television networks, several web sites, specialized closed-circuit networks (such as CNN Airport Network), and a radio network.
