Background: The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), conducting research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders and stroke. The NINDS mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. In agreement with the NINDS mission, the Surgical Neurology Branch (SNB) Section contributes neurodiagnostic information and investigative research as it explores the physiologic, anatomic, behavioral, and therapeutic components of epilepsy and somnolence.

The NINDS SNB currently owns an intraoperative neuronavigation system, specifically a Medtronic StealthStation S7, which is used in the process of excising brain tumors. To improve outcomes of brain tumor resections, an upgrade to the existing surgical navigation system is now necessary.
