Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Wilder Penfield developed the Montréal procedure, also known as the Montreal procedure for the surgical treatment of epilepsy. The Montréal procedure involved the surgical removal of the epileptic focus, identified by stimulating various parts of the brain with an electrode, during which the patient was awake and conscious. This helped to reduce the occurrence and severity of seizures in patients with epilepsy. Dr. Penfield's work also contributed to the development of the field of neurosurgery.
