Recording Brain Cell Activity During Neurosurgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study records tiny electrical signals from single brain cells during planned brain surgery. It may help researchers understand how individual neurons work during different brain procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for brain surgery at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London.
- During surgery, part of the outer brain layer will be removed or touched by a surgical tool or implant.
- You can understand and read English well enough to give consent.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of surgery.
- You are receiving care through the NHS.

This study tests a new minimally invasive device that helps doctors monitor brain activity during surgery for brain tumors or epilepsy. The device uses soft electrodes placed on the brain's surface to help surgeons work more safely and precisely.
This study uses special brain recordings done during electrode implantation to better understand brain activity in people whose symptoms are hard to control with medications. The goal is to help doctors improve how they evaluate and treat certain brain or nerve conditions.
This study records brain activity during awake surgery for people with glioma. It aims to better understand how the brain works around the tumor, which may help improve surgical safety.
This study uses special brain recordings during an awake surgical procedure to understand how the brain learns new movement and sensation skills. If you can comfortably take part in a simple task during surgery, you may help researchers learn how learning works in humans.
This study looks at how healthy brain cells work during thinking tasks. If you're having brain surgery for certain conditions, doctors may record tiny electrical signals from your brain cells to understand memory and decision-making better.
This trial records brain activity while you name pictures during awake brain surgery. It aims to improve understanding of language areas to help guide surgery for brain tumors near these regions.
