There is increasing evidence that the extent of tumor removal in low-grade glioma surgery is
related to patient survival time. Thus, the goal of resecting the largest amount of tumor …

Intraoperative electrical brain mapping is currently the most reliable method to identify
eloquent cortical and subcortical structures at the individual level and to optimize the extent …

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

BACKGROUND Awake craniotomy with intraoperative electrical mapping is a reliable
method to minimize the risk of permanent deficit during surgery for low-grade glioma located …

Purpose: To prospectively determine the sensitivity and specificity of functional magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging for mapping language and motor functions in patients with a focal …

Object The authors prospectively assessed the value of awake craniotomy used
nonselectively in patients undergoing resection of supratentorial tumors. Methods The …

While research on third language (L3) and multilingualism has recently shown remarkable
growth, the fundamental question of what makes trilingualism special compared to …

The aim of brain glioma surgery is to maximize the quality of resection, while minimizing the
risk of sequelae. Due to the frequent location of gliomas in “eloquent areas” and because of …

Resection of lesions involving motor or language areas or pathways requires the
intraoperative identification of functional cortical and subcortical sites for effectively and safe …

Introduction: Historically, most studies about awake brain surgery have focused on language
or motor functions. More recently, other cognitive functions have also been assessed …
