Advances in neuroscience from a Latin American perspective

This issue of the Revista Mexicana de Neurociencia (RMN) brings together a compelling collection of articles that underscore both the scientific rigor and the clinical relevance of contemporary neuroscience research in Latin America.These contributions, emerging from diverse institutions and disciplines, reflect the growing commitment to evidence-based neurology and the exploration of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic frontiers.This issue spans neuro-oncology, neurovascular medicine, congenital neurovascular anomalies, and neurodegenerative disorders, offering a panoramic view of the challenges and progress in the field.The first original article by Jimenez-Ruiz et al. 1 , titled "Epidemiology of pituitary tumors treated by Gamma Knife radiosurgery in Mexico: a single-center study," provides a detailed retrospective analysis of 111 patients with pituitary adenomas treated with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR) over 17 years.The authors report that GKR was effective in achieving radiographic improvement in nearly 40% of cases, particularly when tumors lacked chiasmatic extension and visual field abnormalities were absent before treatment.Importantly, the study documents a complete absence of acute or chronic complications, reinforcing the safety profile of GKR in experienced hands.This research not only fills an important epidemiological gap in the Mexican context but also underscores the relevance of radiosurgery as a valuable therapeutic adjunct in neuro-oncology.It contributes to the regional understanding of treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in
