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 …

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 …

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

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

OBJECT The deep frontal pathway connecting the superior frontal gyrus to Broca's area,
recently named the frontal aslant tract (FAT), is assumed to be associated with language …

Eighteen consecutive patients undergoing dominant temporal lobectomy underwent
preoperative cortical stimulation for language localization. Patients with naming deficits on …

We evaluated 5 consecutive patients with subdural grid electrodes (including placement
over the left basal temporal region) for focal resections for control of intractable epilepsy. All …

Refinement of neurosurgical technique has enabled safer operations with more aggressive
outcomes. One cornerstone of modern-day practice is the utilization of intraoperative …

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

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 …
