Smart surgery: picking the brain surgeon’s brain

In this edition of Inland Visions we head to Nizhny Novgorod to speak with world-renowned neurosurgeon Igor Medyanik. He utilizes state of the art technology and progressive methods. The field of surgery requires a great deal of skill and confidence, and when our brains are on the line, it also requires an element of artistry. We step into the operating room with one of the best, to witness an operation on a fully awake patient.

Sean Thomas also talks to neurolinguist Olga Dragoy, who helps navigate our brain’s complex pathways during this challenging procedure.

Video updated to include correct title of guest, Olga Dragoy, Director of the Center for Language and Brain at HSE University.
