Neuropsychological assessment of language functions during functional magnetic resonance imaging — development of new tasks. Preliminary report

Abstract

The differential localization of function-related neuronal activity seems interesting and the research worth continuing, since verbal communication failure may result from impairment of any of various language functions, and studies reported in the literature seem to focus on verbal expression only.

The use of functional magnetic resonance imaging in reducing a risk of postoperative neurological deficits in the patients with brain tumour

“…Direct cortical and white mater stimulation is considered a golden standard in surgical repertoire [2]. On the other hand, recent developments in highly specialized imaging studies, functional in particular, facilitated vast expansion of neuronavigation system applications [3,4]. The role of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in risk assessment and preoperative planning along with intraoperative localization of eloquent areas has been a subject of numerous reports [1][2][3]5].…”
