Abstract: Recent research performed at ESRF has shown that microbeams arrays delivering incident doses from 300 to 600 GY generate the equivalent of a microsurgical incision over the cortex and hippocampus. These microbeam incisions generate no neurological deficit when delivered to eloquent cortex, offering an attractive new way to treat seizures originating from brain regions not amenable to surgical resection and to modulate neural networks involved in a wide variety of functional brain disorders
