Dear Colleagues and Guests of the WSSFN,
Welcome to the 16th Quadrennial Meeting of the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional
Neurosurgery! Our society president, Takaomi Taira, other WSSFN officers, and my scientific program
co‑chair Moji Hodaie have all worked with me to prepare a program that we are sure will be of great
interest and stimulate much discussion.
This is a most exciting time for the WSSFN. As you all know there is an intense focus on stereotactic and
functional neurosurgery the world over, and our society is on the leading edge of this wave. Since our last
meeting in Toronto in May 2009 the European SSFN joined the WSSFN as partners (joining the American
society in this regard). This also has greatly expanded the readership of our official journal, Stereotactic
and Functional Neurosurgery, whose selectivity and impact factor continue to rise under the editorial
leadership of David Roberts. Our last interim meeting in Cape Town in November 2011 was a great
success, and we invite suggestions for our next event in two years.
Planning the WSSFN program does not occur in a vacuum. Your suggestions after the prior meeting
were very much taken into account. You wanted more debates after the success of those two sessions in
Toronto? This year there are nine Bento Box debates, three on each day of the meeting during lunch. More
time devoted to radiosurgery and psychiatric neurosurgery was added, again based on WSSFN member
feedback. A new feature of this year’s program is a final plenary session at the end of the first two meeting
days in which key features of the scientific program will be summarized. Vigorous discussion by all
attendees is encouraged at these sessions.
Due to the record‑breaking number of abstract submissions this year, we had no choice but to have
separate poster sessions. Please adhere to the scheduled day for your poster display. Some of the most
interesting work at our meetings often is in the posters, so please use the available time to view these and
to interact with the authors. The meeting will conclude with a distinguished plenary session and, lastly,
the awards ceremony for best oral and poster presentations by residents and fellows.
You will enjoy the opening reception and gala dinner at the meeting. First‑time visitors should consider
adding some time, before or after the meeting, to see the city and its environs. Take it from a gaijin, Tokyo
is one of the most interesting and safe cities in the world, and quite easy to navigate.
Thanks for coming and for your support of the WSSFN. Please let us know your thoughts on the meeting
and the society as we continue to grow. Your involvement is welcome and all it takes is enthusiasm and
commitment!
Sincerely yours,
Michael Schulder, MD

WSSFN Travel AwardsThis year, the World Society is pleased to offer a large number of travel grants to residents and fellows participating in the quadrennial meeting in Tokyo. These grants, based on scientific merit and geographical location, have been made available to facilitate attendance to the meeting and are a direct reflection of the society’s mandate of nurturing the field stereotactic and functional neurosurgery across the globe.
The society wishes to recognize and encourage strong scientific contributions to the field internationally, while promoting the field of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery in areas where it is not easily available. We are encouraged by the strong participation and interest during the WSSFN interim meeting of the society in South Africa, 2011. As a result, a number of travel awards have been made available to participants from Africa. We are confident of the fruitful outcome that accompanies increasing international participation and collaboration.
I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of Dr. Joseph Neimat, Vanderbilt University, and Dr. Graham Fieggen, University of Cape Town, in the selection process of the awardees.
The travel grant awardees of the 16th quadrennial meeting of the WSSFN are as follows:
