I really appreciate your detailed answer! This is advice I will take to heart.
I'm fascinated by the brain, and am of the opinion that significant advances can be made through interventions in the brain which cannot be accomplished through medication or noninvasive therapy alone, but I am starting to wonder whether I should instead opt for a field like neurology, where I can finish training faster and have better work-life balance (please correct me if I'm wrong), but lose the privilege to operate.
As a neurosurgeon, what has been your experience working with neurologists? Do they have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the development of novel direct brain therapies or devices?
