OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the accuracy of preoperative localization of language-related
cortex by magnetic resonance imaging-guided positron emission tomography. METHODS …

Object Despite better knowledge of cortical language organization, its subcortical
anatomofunctional connectivity remains poorly understood. The authors used intraoperative …

OBJECTIVE: Subcortical stimulation can be used to identify functional language tracts
during resection of gliomas located close to or within language areas or pathways. The …

This study analyzes the utility of peroperative cortical language mapping applied to the
surgery of high-grade gliomas situated within or in close vicinity to speech areas. Fifteen …

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 …

Abstract IN A SERIES of 40 patients undergoing an awake craniotomy for the removal of a
glioma of the dominant hemisphere temporal lobe, cortical stimulation mapping was used to …

Functional neuroimaging has improved pre‐planning of surgery in eloquent cortical areas,
but remains unable to map white matter. Thus, tumour resection in functional subcortical …

Object. The aim of this study was to determine whether cortical areas involved in the writing
process are associated with reading or naming areas in patients undergoing surgery for …

Studies looking at resection in high-grade gliomas have had mixed results. The authors
briefly review the literature regarding the value of the extent of resection. They proceed to …

OBJECTIVES: Intraoperative direct electrical stimulation (DES) is increasingly used in
patients operated on for tumours in critical language areas. Although a positive impact of …
