Can someone please answer my question =( I'm wondering why patients don't seize during surgery----I mean, all this poking around the brain---doesn't that irritate the cortex? If so, what do surgeons do to prevent/treat it?

[hunglikehuang]

@dhamyanthi I'm not sure what you mean by seize, but the brain doesn't have any sensory receptors on it so prodding the brain will not produce pain. The patient only needs local anesthesia for the craniotomy.

[markmurphyortiz]

@dhamyanthi because of the sedative administered

[TheHarter77]

@dhamyanthi The brain doesn't have pain receptors. Seizures are excessive neuronal activity "poking around the brain" will not cause or initiate a seizure.

[TheMichellemelton100]

@72dew a craniotomy is when they cut your head wide open and remove the bone for surgery.. had mine in 08 to remove a avm that ruptured..
