Real-time guidance for the implantation of deep-brain-stimulation (DBS) electrodes in the context of stereotactic neurosurgery is essential but currently unavailable. Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) systems offer high-accuracy localization of tools in restricted volumes but face compatibility issues with stereotactic procedures due to electromagnetic distortions. This paper aims to evaluate and compare the localization performa...

Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia encephalopathy (HIE) refers to a brain injury in term infants that can lead to death or lifelong neurological deficits such as cerebral palsy (CP). The pathogenesis of this disease involves multiple cellular and molecular events, notably a neuroinflammatory response driven partly by microglia, the brain resident macrophages. Treatment options are currently very limited, but stem cell (SC) therapy hold...
