When Artificial Intelligence Begins to Understand Brain Surgery We developed an AI framework that recognizes 12 surgical steps in MCA aneurysm clipping — one of the most detailed step-classification models published to date. As open clipping cases decline, structured AI-driven learning may help preserve microsurgical mastery for the next generation. Grateful to Prof. Lawton , Prof. Preul, Prof. Li, Jiuxu Chen, Thomas On, Xu Yuan, and the NeuroPub team at BNI for making this possible. AI won’t replace surgeons—it will elevate surgical education. 🔗 Paper in comments. @BarrowNeuro @mtlawton @ontj12 @cns @NeurosurgeryCNS
