Viktoras Palys

Viktoras Palys is a Lithuanian neurosurgeon based in the United States, recognized for performing a groundbreaking brain surgery aimed at treating epilepsy. His recent operation involved implanting human neurons into the hippocampus, a key area in the brain where seizures often originate, as part of a clinical trial approved by the FDA. The trial focuses on using cultured neurons to restore chemical balance in the brain and potentially provide a minimally invasive, curative approach for epilepsy patients, eliminating the need for traditional surgical methods or ongoing medication.
