P32. Improved reliabilty of intraoperative language mapping through preoperative nTMS and baseline linguistic scores
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Clinical Neurophysiology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.673
Abstract: Objective Repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rnTMS) and direct cortical stimulation (DCS) during awake surgery are complementary tools to locate speech functional areas of the brain. However, patients show inter-individual differences in their preoperative linguistic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nop/npaf075
Abstract: Awake craniotomy is essential for glioma resection in functionally integrated brain regions, allowing real-time monitoring to reduce cognitive and emotional deficits. Although widely used, its long-term neuropsychological effects remain debated. This systematic review aims to… read more here.
