Numerous traditional linguistic theories propose that semantic language pathways convert
sounds to meaningful concepts, generating interpretations ranging from simple object …

The infiltrative character of supratentorial lower grade glioma makes it possible for eloquent
neural pathways to remain within tumoural tissue, which renders complete surgical resection …

The segmentation of brain structures is a key component of many neuroimaging studies.
Consistent anatomical definitions are crucial to ensure consensus on the position and shape …

Background Awake craniotomy is the standard of care in surgery of tumours located in
eloquent parts of the brain. However, high variability is recorded in multiple parameters …

OBJECTIVE Traditionally, resection of nondominant hemisphere brain tumors was
performed under general anesthesia. An improved understanding of right-lateralized neural …

Background: Pre-and intra-operative language mapping in neurosurgery patients frequently
involves an object naming task. The choice of the optimal object naming paradigm remains …

Background Awake brain mapping paradigms are variable, particularly in SMA, and not
personalised to each patient. In addition, subpial resections do not offer full protection to …

Penfield, as depicted masterfully in the 1936 Boldrey's thesis, produced a detailed, direct
electrical stimulation (DES)-generated, motor, somatotopic map, including specific …

Objectives Build the theoretical and evidence-base for a digital platform (map-OR) which
delivers intraoperative language tests during awake craniotomy and facilitates collaborative …

Intracranial lesions, particularly in the language-eloquent areas of the brain, can affect one's
speaking ability. Despite advances in surgery, the excision of these lesions can be …
