About
Jinyoung Youn is a leading researcher in functional neurosurgery, with a primary focus on deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, particularly Parkinson’s disease. His work centers on improving the accuracy, safety, and clinical outcomes of DBS through the integration of neurosurgical robotics and advanced imaging. Youn’s major contributions include demonstrating that robot-assisted DBS can achieve comparable or superior targeting accuracy to conventional frame-based methods, while potentially reducing operative time and patient discomfort. His 2023 study on robot-assisted DBS, which has garnered early citations, established a foundation for safer, more precise electrode placement. More recently, his 2025 investigation into “asleep” robot-assisted DBS with microelectrode recording has shown promising clinical outcomes for Parkinson’s patients, paving the way for less invasive, more comfortable procedures. With his work accumulating citations and influencing surgical practice, Youn is recognized for advancing the frontier of minimally invasive functional neurosurgery, making DBS more accessible and effective for patients worldwide.
