Rontgen An X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength approximately in the range of 5 pm to 10 nanometers (corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 PHz to 60 EHz). X-ray cerebral arteriographyArteriography (also known as Angiogram or Angiography) is an examination method where a dye solution visible to X-ray is injected into a patient’s bloodstream. Later, X-rays of the patient are taken and are studied. Arteriography is used to detect damage to diagnose several kinds of brain disorders , such as tumors and congenital malformations .
He 1936, Egas Moniz and his associate Almeida Lima developed for the first time a surgical technique to interrupt the nerve fibers which connect the thalamusFor other uses, see Thalamus Ltd. The thalamus is a part of the brain. It is located in the center of the brain, beneath the cerebral hemispheres and next to the third ventricles. It is formed of grey matter and can be thought of as a relay station for ne (a relay for sensory information coming into the brain) to the prefrontal cortex (already known at the time as a brainFor other articles about other subjects named brain see brain (disambiguation). In the anatomy of animals, the brain or encephalon is the supervisory center of the nervous system. Although the brain is usually cited as the supervisory center of vertebrate structure involved in higher intellectual functions of the brain, and in emotions , as well). His technique was widely used around the world in the next decade, and Moniz received many honours and international recognition, culminating with the Nobel Prize.
Dr. Egas Moniz became an invalid due to a gunshot to his spine, fired by one of his patients. He died in 1955, in Lisbon, Portugal.
