Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults.
Regardless of ideal multidisciplinary treatment, including maximal surgical resection …

Surgical resection plays a central role in the management of gliomas. In this study, we
review the evidence in support of extent of resection to improve survival, symptom …

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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In subjects who are performing no prescribed cognitive
task, functional connectivity mapped with MR imaging (fcMRI) shows regions with …

Object. Although a growing number of authors currently advocate surgery to treat low-grade
gliomas, controversy still persists, especially because of the risk of inducing neurological …

The concept of plasticity describes the mechanisms that rearrange cerebral organization
following a brain injury. During the last century, plasticity has been mainly investigated in …

Objectives: To describe functional recovery after surgical resection of low grade gliomas
(LGG) in eloquent brain areas, and discuss the mechanisms of compensation. Methods …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the usefulness of preoperative language
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), by correlating fMRI data with intraoperative …

Object. Preserving vital cerebral function while maximizing tumor resection is a principal
goal in surgical neurooncology. Although functional magnetic resonance imaging has been …

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 …
