As awake brain mapping in glioma surgery gets more common, neuropsychological
assessment is becoming more refined and a greater focus is being placed on executive …

The purpose of surgery for brain tumors involving eloquent neural circuits is to maximize the
extent of resection while preserving an optimal quality of life. To this end, especially in …

In the first half of the twentieth century, Wilder Penfield was the first neurosurgeon to use, in
a systematic way, cortical electrostimulation in awake patients with the aim of mapping …

OBJECTIVE The goal of surgery for gliomas is maximal tumor removal while preserving the
patient's full functional integrity. At present during frontal tumor removal, this goal is mostly …

Neuropsychological care of patients suffering from an infiltrative glioma and candidates for a
neurosurgery under awake condition with intraoperative functional mapping is a critical and …

In the early days of modern neurological surgery, the inconveniences and potential dangers
of general anesthesia by chloroform and ether using the so-called “open-drop technique” …

OBJECTIVE Awake surgery and mapping are performed in patients with low-grade tumors
infiltrating functional brain areas for which the greater the resection, the longer the patient …

In recent years, advances in cortical-subcortical mapping, intraoperative neurophysiology,
and neuropsychology have increased the ability to remove intrinsic brain tumors, expanding …

The traditional principle underlying oncological neurosurgery is to remove a tumor mass
displacing the brain in order to increase survival. Recently, advances in connectomics …

To the Editor: Over the past two decades, it has been demonstrated that brain mapping in an
awake patient is a very reliable tool for brain tumor resection, allowing us to maximize the …
