Even with the best surgical techniques, electrodes sometimes bend or seemingly drift off target—often enough to require repositioning or even revision surgery.

On the new Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Journal Club Podcast, Dr. Kim Burchiel interviewed me about our group's research showing how the brain’s own tissue properties can influence electrode deviation.

It’s an important reminder that the brain isn’t just a target—it’s a living environment that shapes outcomes.
