An independent journal since 2004, it was created in recognition of the vast role spine surgery plays in neurosurgical practice.

Neurosurgical Focus, an online-only free-access journal, covers a different neurosurgery-related topic in depth each month. Enhanced by video clips, each issue constitutes a state-of-the-art "textbook chapter" in the field of neurosurgery. The Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group is the scholarly journal division of the American Association of Neurosurgeons, an association dedicated to advancing the specialty of neurological surgery in order to promote the highest quality of patient care.
