Neural pathway induction
A neural pathway induction was a type of surgery involving the brain.

In 2373, Doctor Julian Bashir told Kira Nerys that she would have to undergo a neural pathway induction upon returning to Deep Space 9. Kira didn't think she needed it, saying she felt fine, but Bashir assured her that she'd eventually require the procedure when her neural tissue deteriorated due to the quantum fluctuations in the quantum energy barrier surrounding Gaia.
