Laser surgery offers hope for those living with epilepsy and brain cancer
For patients with intractable epilepsy or complex brain tumors, surgery can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. However, traditional open craniotomy, in which part of the skull is removed, is not always a safe option for patients with deep-seated tumors or those with advanced disease. It also may carry an increased risk of side effects. But a minimally invasive option, laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), provides patients an alternative.

UT Southwestern research probes links between hippocampal hyperactivity in adolescence and development of psychosis
UT Southwestern faculty from the Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience as well as the Dean of Simulation and Student Integration performed experiments providing striking evidence that may help to explain why psychosis typically emerges during adolescence and involves characteristic changes in activity within the brain’s hppocampus. In their paper appearing in Molecular Psychiatry, decades of research have indicated that abnormalities in the hippocampus may be linked not only with psychosis, but also with memory loss, depression, and PTSD-related anxiety.
