Despite advances in the new science of connectomics, which aims to comprehensively map
neural connections at both structural and functional levels, techniques to directly study the …

Intraoperative electrical brain mapping is currently the most reliable method to identify
eloquent cortical and subcortical structures at the individual level and to optimize the extent …

OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the three-dimensional structure of the white matter of
the brain by means of the fiber-dissection technique and diffusion-tensor magnetic …

Importance Spaceflight results in transient balance declines and brain morphologic
changes; to our knowledge, the effect on brain white matter as measured by diffusion …

BACKGROUND: The traditional neurosurgical approach to cerebral lesions is based on the
classic view of a rigid brain organization in fixed “eloquent” areas. However, this method is …

The aim of brain glioma surgery is to maximize the quality of resection, while minimizing the
risk of sequelae. Due to the frequent location of gliomas in “eloquent areas” and because of …

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 …

Introduction: Historically, most studies about awake brain surgery have focused on language
or motor functions. More recently, other cognitive functions have also been assessed …

The traditional approach in neuro-oncology is to study the tumor in great detail and
ultimately give little consideration to the brain itself. Choosing the best treatment strategy for …

Dance and music training have shared and distinct features. Both demand long and intense
physical training to master. Dance engages the whole body, and requires the integration of …
