Abstract
Stereotactic neurosurgery is the arena in which the past meets the pre sent on many levels. Preserved skulls from South America, Africa, and Europe testify to man's early attempts at cranial surgery. Stereotacti c approaches and systems, as well as the new innovative interactive im age-guided devices, are efforts to explore and treat the afflictions o f the human brain in both its literal and figurative aspects.
