We, the Department of Neurosurgery, University of Toyama, were born on April 1, 1980. Last year, on April 1, 2020, we celebrated our 40th anniversary, but due to the COVID-19 outbreak that has begun to sweep Japan, all memorial projects have been postponed until this year. Even now, it is hard to say that the COVID-19 outbreak is under control, but through the experience of the past year, we are learning how to survive this situation safely. As the first step of our memorial project, we have now published the “40th Anniversary Book of the Department of Neurosurgery, University of Toyama” as we have been announcing before. We would like to express our gratitude to the many people both inside and outside the university who have contributed to this publication.
We hope that you will receive it soon. We hope you will enjoy reading it when you receive it.
Boys & Girls, Be Ambitious!
