Using direct cortical stimulation to map language function during awake craniotomy is a well-described
and useful technique. However, the optimum neuropsychological tasks to use …

To examine the functional connectivity of the primary and supplementary motor areas (SMA)
in glioma patients using resting-state functional MRI (rfMRI). To correlate rfMRI data with …

Purpose To evaluate the effects of histologic features and anatomic magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging characteristics of brain tumors on the functional MR imaging signal in the primary …

Introduction Functional MRI (fMRI) can assess language lateralization in brain tumor patients;
however, this can be limited if the primary language area—Broca’s area (BA)—is affected …

We describe a case of translocation of temporo-parietal language function (Wernicke’s area)
to the contralateral hemisphere in a right-handed patient with a left temporo-parietal glioma. …

Purpose Preoperative functional MRI (fMRI) is limited by a muted BOLD response caused
by abnormal vasoreactivity and resultant neurovascular uncoupling adjacent to malignant …

The main clinical application of functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging has been in
preoperative brain tumor surgery planning. In brain surgery, it is essential to maximize the …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has gained both popularity and credibility.
This chapter focuses on the design of fMRI paradigms in terms of clinical treatment goals, …

Neurosurgical practice underwent a revolution in the 1970s with the advent of detailed
anatomical imaging by computed tomography (CT), further improved by magnetic resonance …

Blood oxygen level‐dependent functional MRI is a useful method for mapping functional
cortices in preoperative patients with brain tumor. However, motor functional MRI activation is …
