BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Reorganization of brain function may result in
preservation of motor function in patients with brain tumors. The goal of the present study …

Object. The purpose of the present study was to compare the results of functional magnetic
resonance (fMR) imaging with those of intraoperative cortical stimulation in patients who …

The goal of the present study was to determine the efficacy of preoperative fMRI,
tractography, and intraoperative continuous task during awake surgery in preserving …

In patients with gliomas, motor deficits are not always observed, even though tumor cells
infiltrate into the motor area. Currently, it is recognized that this phenomenon can occur …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The supplementary motor area can be a critical region in
the preoperative planning of patients undergoing brain tumor resection because it plays a …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of functional
magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) to map cerebral functions in patients with frontal or …

Intracranial lesions may compromise structures critical for motor performance, and mapping
of the cortex, especially of the motor hand area, is important to reduce postoperative …

OBJECTIVES Brain plasticity is supposed to allow the compensation of motor function in
cases of rolandic lesion. The aim was to analyse the mechanisms of functional …

Object Functional MRI (fMRI) is commonly used by neurosurgeons preoperatively to identify
brain regions associated with essential behaviors, such as language and motor abilities. In …

Background Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a widely used method for
research and visualization of the brain function. However, its clinical use is still limited. Our …
