Purpose Surgery for infiltrative gliomas aims to balance tumor removal with preservation of
functional integrity. The usefulness of intraoperative stimulation mapping (ISM) has not been …

Classic models of language organization posited that separate motor and sensory language
foci existed in the inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's area) and superior temporal gyrus …

OBJECT Awake craniotomy is currently a useful surgical approach to help identify and
preserve functional areas during cortical and subcortical tumor resections. Methodologies …

In the first decade of neurocognitive word production research the predominant approach
was brain mapping, ie, investigating the regional cerebral brain activation patterns …

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive meta-analysis of the relevant imaging
literature on word production (82 experiments). In addition to the spatial overlap of activated …

Speech perception requires the rapid and effortless extraction of meaningful phonetic
information from a highly variable acoustic signal. A powerful example of this phenomenon …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is increasingly used in
presurgical brain mapping. Preoperative nTMS results correlate well with direct cortical …

Despite its clinical relevance, direct electrical stimulation (DES) of the human brain is
surprisingly poorly understood. Although we understand several aspects of electrical …

Objectives: Despite the growing use of intraoperative functional mapping in supratentorial
low grade glioma (LGG) surgery, few studies have compared series of patients operated on …
