OBJECTIVE: Language mapping has been reported previously for bilingual patients
undergoing cortical resection of an epileptic focus that may have developed early in life. In …

OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative localization of speech is problematic in patients that are fluent
with different languages. Previous studies have generated various results depending on the …

Object. In an attempt to gain a better understanding of how multiple languages are
represented in the human brain, the authors studied bilingual patients who underwent …

Object This prospective longitudinally designed study was conducted to evaluate language
functions pre-and postoperatively in patients who underwent microsurgical treatment of …

Background Awake brain mapping in multilingual patients with brain tumors presents unique
challenges to the neurosurgeon. Knowledge of potential eloquent sites is vital to preserve …

Abstract Language localization data from 11 neurosurgical patients undergoing cortical
resection for medically intractable focal epilepsy were obtained by mapping with bipolar …

Background Language sites in the cortex of the brain vary among patients. Language
mapping while the patient is awake is an intraoperative technique designed to minimize …

In order to identify the cortical areas involved in the reading process and to spare them
during surgery, we systematically studied cortical areas by direct cortical stimulation in …
