Charles W. Needham, M.D.

Charles W. Needham, M.D., clinical instructor in neurosurgery, discussed pacemaker systems in May at the McGill Neurosurgical Reunion. These systems, located at the center of the brain, are currently being investigated to account for the mechanisms of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, tinnitus, chronic pain and Parkinson’s disease. The meeting, a celebration of 100 years of neurosurgery, was held at the Montreal Neurological Institute.
