Cerebral plasticity is the ability of the central nervous system to reorganize itself in response
to different injuries. The reshaping of functional areas is a crucial mechanism to compensate …

Clinical use of blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) is a relatively new phenomenon, with only about 3 decades of collective …

Introduction Functional brain templates are often used in the analysis of clinical functional
MRI (fMRI) studies. However, these templates are mostly built based on anatomy or fMRI of …

Background Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) is a potential alternative to task-based
functional MRI (tb-fMRI) for somatomotor network (SMN) identification. Brain networks can …

Functional neuroimaging has consistently implicated the fronto-basal ganglia-cerebellar
circuit in procedural learning—defined as the incidental acquisition of sequence information …

Background MRI performed with echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequences is sensitive to
susceptibility artifacts in the presence of metallic objects, which presents a substantial …

The goal of glioma surgery is maximal safe resection in order to provide optimal tumor
control and survival benefit to the patient. There are multiple imaging modalities beyond …

Introduction: Diffuse glioma is a challenging neurosurgical entity. Although surgery does not
provide a cure, it may greatly influence survival, brain function, and quality of life. Surgical …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients with brain tumors have high
intersubject variation in putative language regions, which may limit the utility of …

Localization of language regions using task-based functional MR imaging (T-fMR imaging)
is currently considered standard of care before surgical resection of brain lesions that may …
