A special thanks to Harith Akram for visiting and sharing your expertise on ablative surgery for pain. Thank you dear Harith for showing us your philosophy and tricks to “break the agony circuit”. It was an honor for me, Veerle Visser-Vandewalle and our team to host you here at our department!
First time's a charm! The first cingulotomy for chronic pain using RF and tractography in Cologne went smoothly. So happy to see the patient doing well and leaving the hospital today after only few days at our clinic.

Gracias a Jesus Villagomez, Michel Sáenz, Erick Hernandez and Icela Oceguera for the great time with your group in and out the OR!
The future for spinal cord stimulation and spinal cord injury is here!
Finally, to my colleague and friend Rodrigo Mercado Pimentel for making all this possible. It was a pleasure to learn from you and your entire group’s profound expertise on these breakthrough therapies. I am very thankful for your hospitality, dedication and endless critical thinking.
Above all, thanks to all the patients that shared their stories with me, for allowing me to understand their path to recovery with SCS and high-end neurorehabilitation. Your strength and hard work give me hope (and proof) that this therapy can change patients’ and primary caregivers’ lives.
It was a privilege to exchange notes with you and your team of physiotherapists about the field of neuromodulation for Spinal Cord Injury.
A particular thanks to the Verita Neuro Group in Mexico at Hospital Real San Jose Valle Real. To Beatriz Pérez , Rodrigo Vilches and Paulina Marin for opening the doors of this incredible project (already a reality) to me.
To our colleagues at Instituto Jalisciense de Ciencias Forenses led by Dr. Axel Rivera and together with Dr. Adrian Aldaz many thanks for this friendly academic exchange. Thank you for your commitment and support for research projects in the field of neuroanatomy and neuroimage!
I had the privilege during this time to show some of our results from Cologne in neuromodulation for psychiatric disorders at Hospital San Javier. Followed by an enriching discussion with an exceptional diverse group of colleagues from the neuropsychology and neurology fields!
"There is no better excess in the world than the excess of gratitude - Jean De La Bruyère" I could not have said it better for this incredible week full of Functional Neurosurgery in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness
