BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The optimal paradigm choice for language mapping in
clinical fMRI studies is challenging due to the variability in activation among different …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Functional MRI (fMRI) based on language tasks has been used
in presurgical language mapping in patients with lesions in or near putative language areas …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional MR imaging (fMRI) is a promising but, in some
aspects, still debated noninvasive tool for functional language mapping. We developed a …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Language task‐based functional MRI (fMRI) is
increasingly used for presurgical planning in patients with brain lesions. Different paradigms …

Introduction Brain surgery in the language dominant hemisphere remains challenging due
to unintended post-surgical language deficits, despite using pre-surgical functional magnetic …

Abstract Language mapping is a key goal in neurosurgical planning. fMRI mapping typically
proceeds with a focus on Broca's and Wernicke's areas, although multiple other language …

Neurosurgical interventions often require the presurgical determination of language
dominance or mapping of language areas. Results obtained by fMRI are closely correlated …

Presurgical language mapping for patients with lesions close to language areas is critical to
neurosurgical decision‐making for preservation of language function. As a clinical …

To avoid post-neurosurgical language deficits, intraoperative mapping of the language
function in the brain can be complemented with preoperative mapping with fMRI. The validity …

Background Use of functional MRI (fMRI) in pre-surgical planning is a non-invasive method
for pre-operative functional mapping for patients with brain tumors, especially tumors located …
