Theoretical Explorations of Quantum Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery has had the fortune of being one of the medical fields with crucial proximity to technological innovation. Applications of lasers, gamma knife technologies, accelerators and even advanced simulation techniques have allowed the field to progress to heights that Cushing and Horsley could only ever dream of. However, despite successes in the implementation of a myriad of develpments, the possibilities of further Neurosurgical advances are as potent as ever; especially as they pertain to adaptation of quantum theory. Quantum dynamics in medical settings are often viewed as superfluous or merely entertaining to a majority of researchers and practitioners, yet, this only due to the percieved lack of practical application of quantum-oriented systems. Thus, the ambition here is to undertake a rigorous theoretical exploration into the potential possibilities of implementing quantum theory into a Neurosurgical setting. Fundamental biophysics and technologies that are currently available are taken into account and from there, will be subject to the scrutiny that quantum mechanics provides. Observing pathologies such as neoplasms or functional disorders will help to truly visualize this goal in a specific and constrained environment. Quantum technologies may not be compatible with the fragile nature of Neurosurgical patients and their associated maladies, yet this is due to a stigma surrounding the contemporary philosophy of medicine being consolidated in the realm of classical mechanics.
