Abstract

Nowadays, an apprentice of neurosurgery has to complete long and different pathways of education.The encounter between the schools of Napoli and Tucuman, make us identify a common strategy of neurosurgical education. In attempt of defining the philosophy behind it we attempt a comparison in between the life and training of a modern neurosurgeon and the character of a tale of Borges (i.e. Ts'ui Pên). As neurosurgeons of the 21st century we must be like the inextricable Ts'ui Pên.
