TedxNashville – Reid Thompson – Neurosurgery: Open the Windows of the Mind
Dr. Reid Thompson realized when he was a medical student that by pursuing a career in neurosurgery, he could think about the brain every day. What he didn't fully realize at the time was that 20 years later he would still gaze upon the brain with a sense of wonder. In this presentation, he will convey this sense of wonder as he describes what it means to operate on the human brain. We will see how, as the field of neurosurgery evolves, allowing us to open the windows of the mind, we can imagine what the future might look like.
