The Invention and Early History of the N-Localizer for Stereotactic Neurosurgery.

Russell A Brown1, James A Nelson2.   

Abstract

Nearly four decades after the invention of the N-localizer, its origin and history remain misunderstood. Some are unaware that a third-year medical student invented this technology. The following conspectus accurately chronicles the origin of the N-localizer, presents recently discovered evidence that documents its history, and corrects misconceptions related to its origin and early history.
