Surgery of the Autonomic Nervous System

Mr Jonathan A. Hyam is a Consultant Neurosurgeon and Honorary Senior Lecturer at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London, and a Visiting Academic at Oxford Functional Neurosurgery and the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Oxford. He was awarded his DPhil in 2012 from the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, and the Arris & Gale Lectureship by the Royal College of Surgeons in 2015.

Mr Erlick A. C. Pereira is a Senior Neurosurgical Registrar at the Department of Neurosurgery, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, UK. He has published around 90 papers in other areas of surgery and neuroscience. Last year, he gained both his FRCS (Neuro.Surg) and was awarded a DM for research into deep brain surgery for pain.

Mr Alexander L. Green is a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Oxford, UK. He is currently president of the British Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (BSSFN).
