The purpose of this Website is NOT to make you into a Brain Surgeon; rather, it is to give you useable, non-technical information about the conditions which require surgery in this most important area of our body. Check our primer(ABCs of Brain Tumors) or our non-technical glossary. We'll also offer details ranging from Brain Surgery'shistory as the first of successful medical procedures, through its high-tech advances of today, and offer a glimpse of what's on the horizon.

Mangiardi, head of the Brain Surgery Information Center, Director of the Foundation for Neurosurgical Research and Chief of Neurosurgery at Cabrini Hospital in New York City exemplifies a unique combination of these traits.
