OPS-Code 1-511.3:

Very targeted tissue samples have been taken from your cerebellum.

The brain is located inside the head. It receives, processes and stores sensory impressions. The brain controls movements and various physical functions.

The cerebellum is part of the brain. The cerebellum monitors and controls body movements and actions. To do this, it continuously processes feedback from the muscles and sensory organs. This is important for being able to maintain balance while riding a bike, for example.

The brain is surrounded by a protective shell of bone, known as the skull or cranium. To take the tissue samples from your cerebellum, tools were inserted very precisely into the inside of your skull. Three-dimensional images of your head were produced for this purpose before the operation. A computer was then used to calculate exactly where the tissue samples were to be taken.
