ABSTRACT

El tema de la neurocirugía ablativa para las adicciones ha sido objeto de investigación desde diferentes perspectivas, tanto en su aspecto neurofisiológico como psiquiátrico. Losnuevos datos y conocimientos han demostrado la gran importancia de las conexiones entre las diferentes áreas del cerebro, cuya actividad funcional se altera durante el desarrollodel fenómeno adictivo; por eso, es importante vincular el conocimiento anatómico y neurofisiológico del sistema mesolímbico para desarrollar técnicas quirúrgicas como métodos curativos o paliativos para las adicciones. En la presente revisión sobre la neurocirugía ablativa para las adicciones, se analizan la anatomía y la neurofisiología del sistema límbico, particularmente del núcleo accumbens,y se discuten los alcances y las limitaciones de las técnicas quirúrgicas actuales, las cuales deben tenerse en cuenta para futuros avances en el campo neuroquirúrgico...


Ablative neurosurgery for addictions has been an object of investigation from different perspectives, in neurophysiology as well as in psychiatry. New knowledge and newevidence has proven the great importance that exists between different areas of the brain, in which functional activity alters during the development of the addictivephenomenon, that is why it is important to associate the anatomy and neurophysiology of the mesocorticolimbic system in order to develop new surgery techniques, for curative or palliative therapies regarding addiction disease. In this present review about ablative neurosurgery in the nucleus accumbens, it is analyzed the anatomy and physiology of the limbic system particularly of the nucleus accumbens, and it will be discussed the advantages and limitations of current surgery techniques which may be taken in consideration for future advances in neurosurgical field...
