For many years, the right hemisphere (RH) was considered as nondominant, especially in
right-handers. In neurosurgical practice, this dogma resulted in the selection of awake …

In the treatment of brain tumors, surgical intervention remains a common and effective
therapeutic option. Recent advances in neuroimaging have provided neurosurgeons with …

OBJECTIVE Maximal safe resection of gliomas near motor pathways is facilitated by
intraoperative mapping. The authors and other groups have described the use of bipolar or …

Simple Summary Motor evoked potential (MEP) alarm criteria may have an important impact
on the preservation of motor function in supratentorial neurosurgical procedures. However …

OBJECTIVE Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) and diffusion tensor
imaging fiber tracking (DTI FT) based on nTMS data are increasingly used for preoperative …

Resection of brain tumors involving motor areas and pathways requires the identification
and preservation of various cortical and subcortical structures involved in motor control at …

OBJECTIVE Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) have the
ability to noninvasively visualize changes in white matter tracts, as well as their relationships …

Monopolar mapping of motor function differs from the most commonly used method of
intraoperative mapping, ie bipolar direct electrical stimulation at 50–60 Hz (Penfield …

Objective We recently developed a new subcortical mapping technique based on the
concept of stimulating the tissue at the site of and synchronously with resection. Our …

BACKGROUND: The accuracy of intraoperative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)–based
tractography of the corticospinal tract (CST) is crucial for its use in neurosurgical planning …
