Visualization of functionally significant subcortical white matter fibers is needed in
neurosurgical procedures in order to avoid damage to the language network during …

Background Within language function research, there is a shift of focus from cortical
specialization to a more hodotopical view including subcortical fiber tracts in functional and …

Diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking (DTI FT) is used to visualize subcortical fiber tracts.
Yet, there is no standard at hand to visualize language-involved subcortical fibers reliably …

Introduction Repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be used for
preoperative language mapping, but it still suffers from comparatively high sensitivity and …

OBJECTIVE Visualization of subcortical language pathways by means of diffusion tensor
imaging–fiber tracking (DTI-FT) is evolving as an important tool for surgical planning and …

Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has recently been introduced as a non-
invasive tool for functional mapping of cortical language areas prior to surgery. It correlates …

Background Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) provides language maps
in brain tumor patients. Yet, corresponding data on the visualization of language-related …

Purpose In patients with supratentorial lesions diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking (DTI-
FT) is increasingly used to visualize subcortical fiber courses. Navigated transcranial …

Background Former comparisons between direct cortical stimulation (DCS) and navigated
transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) only focused on cortical mapping. While both can …

OBJECTIVE Resection of brain tumors in language-eloquent areas entails the risk of
postoperative aphasia. It has been demonstrated via navigated transcranial magnetic …
