The frontal aslant tract (FAT) is a recently identified white matter tract connecting the
supplementary motor complex and lateral superior frontal gyrus to the inferior frontal gyrus …

Abstract Language is organized in large-scale networks in the human brain that show a
strong potential for flexible interactions and adaptation. Neuroplasticity is the central …

Objective Lesion-based map** of speech pathways has been possible only during
invasive neurosurgical procedures using direct cortical stimulation (DCS). However …

Patients with functionally eloquent brain lesions are at risk of functional decline in the course
of resection. Given tumor-related plastic resha** and reallocation of function, individual …

Background: The surgical strategy for brain glioma has changed, shifting from tumor
debulking to a more careful tumor dissection with the aim of a gross-total resection …

OBJECTIVE Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) and diffusion tensor
imaging fiber tracking (DTI FT) based on nTMS data are increasingly used for preoperative …

Background Preoperative functional MRI (fMRI) is one of several techniques developed to
localize critical brain structures and brain tumors. However, the usefulness of fMRI for …

Introduction Preoperative language map** using functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) aims to identify eloquent areas in the vicinity of surgically resectable brain lesions …

In patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), assessment of language lateralization is
important as anterior temporal lobectomy may lead to language impairments. Despite the …

Gliomas exist within the framework of complex neuronal circuitry in which network dynamics
influence both tumor biology and cognition. The generalized impairment of cognition or loss …
