In the last decades, clinical neuroscience found a novel ally in neurotechnologies, devices
able to record and stimulate electrical activity in the nervous system. These technologies …

OBJECTIVE Despite the disabling deficits of motor apraxia and sensory ataxia resulting from
intraoperative injury of the superior thalamocortical tracts (TCTs), region-specific …

Functional activation leads to an increase in local brain temperature via an increase in local
perfusion. In the intraoperative setting, these cortical surface temperature fluctuations may …

Objective The exact location of the leg motor area is still in debate due to the lack of
landmarks such as 'precentral knob'in the medial cortex. This study tried to identify the leg …

Objective Intraoperative mapping of the nervous system is used to identify “eloquent” cortical
areas. In this technical report, we describe a novel way of mapping the somatosensory …

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) complements modern presurgical investigations by
providing information about the epileptic focus as well as real-time identification of critical …

Abstract Purpose of Review Although intraoperative neuromonitoring has become a
standardized practice for many neurological procedures, the evidence supporting its benefit …

Surgery for resection of cerebral tumors or epileptic foci carries risks of damage to cortical
areas involved in sensory, motor, language, and parietal functions. Even with modern …
