We present the case of a right-handed patient who received surgical treatment for a left
frontal WHO grade II glioma invading the left inferior and middle frontal gyri, the head of the …

Introduction The emergence of advanced in vivo neuroimaging methods has redefined the
understanding of brain function with a shift from traditional localizationist models to more …

Intraoperative direct electrical stimulation (DES) is increasingly used in patients operated on
for tumours in eloquent areas. Although a positive impact of DES on postoperative linguistic …

Intraoperative language mapping in awake surgery is typically conducted by asking the
patient to produce automatic speech and to name objects. These tasks might not map …

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 …

Abstract Language mapping is a key goal in neurosurgical planning. fMRI mapping typically
proceeds with a focus on Broca's and Wernicke's areas, although multiple other language …

OBJECT Diffusion MRI has uniquely enabled in vivo delineation of white matter tracts, which
has been applied to the segmentation of eloquent pathways for intraoperative mapping. The …

Background Language mapping by repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation
(rTMS) is used for resection planning in patients suffering from brain lesions within regions …

Object Despite the report of recent experiences of insular surgery in the past decade, there
has been no series specifically dedicated to studying functional outcome following resection …

Purpose: To prospectively assess the feasibility of standardized presurgical functional
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for localizing the Broca and Wernicke areas and for …
