in both Gamma Knife and
Cyberknife ® Radiosurgery.
Dr. Snyder has published and presented extensively
on fields in functional neurosurgery.
His papers and presentations include works on surgery
for primary dystonia,seizure
outcomes associated with cavernous malformations,
deep brain stimulation for
depression and Parkinson’s disease as well
