“…Object naming is typically applied during intraoperative mapping with DES (for a review see De Witte & Mariën, 2013). Naming errors have been described after stimulations in the left perisylvian regions and frontal premotor cortex and subcortically in the AF, ILF, IFOF, subcallosal fascicle, UF (Bello et al, 2007;Coello et al, 2013;.…”

“…However, this approach, in which word-finding abilities and automatic speech are investigated in a restricted way, does not cover the integral variety of expressive and receptive language functions, necessary for an adequate communication. Verb-noun association tasks, auditory and visual comprehension tasks, repetition, reading, and writing tasks are occasionally used in experimental settings and some studies described a more tailored selection taking into account tumour location (Bello et al, 2007(Bello et al, , 2008Bertani et al, 2009;Duffau et al, 2003;Duffau, Lopes, et al, 2005) (for a review see De Witte & Mariën, 2013). As a result, test batteries including specific and sensitive tasks are needed for intraoperative language testing in order to preserve language function.…”

Intraoperative direct electrical stimulation (DES) is increasingly used in patients operated on for tumours in eloquent areas. Although a positive impact of DES on postoperative linguistic outcome is generally advocated, information about the neurolinguistic methods applied in awake surgery is scarce. We developed for the first time a standardised Dutch linguistic test battery (measuring phonology, semantics, syntax) to reliably identify the critical language zones in detail. A normative study was carried out in a control group of 250 native Dutch-speaking healthy adults. In addition, the clinical application of the Dutch Linguistic Intraoperative Protocol (DuLIP) was demonstrated by means of anatomo-functional models and five case studies. A set of DuLIP tests was selected for each patient depending on the tumour location and degree of linguistic impairment. DuLIP is a valid test battery for pre-, intraoperative and postoperative language testing and facilitates intraoperative mapping of eloquent language regions that are variably located.

“…To date, per-operative evaluations of high-level functions have been mainly conducted for language mapping in awake patients [80][81][82][83]. Based on this approach, large amounts of data have been collected and used for producing probabilistic maps of anatomo-functional correlations [13,20].…”

One contribution of 15 to a theme issue 'Controlling brain activity to alter perception, behaviour and society'. Direct electrical stimulation (DES) of the human brain has been used by neurosurgeons for almost a century. Although this procedure serves only clinical purposes, it generates data that have a great scientific interest. Had DES not been employed, our comprehension of the organization of the sensorimotor systems involved in movement execution, language production, the emergence of action intentionality or the subjective feeling of movement awareness would have been greatly undermined. This does not mean, of course, that DES is a gold standard devoid of limitations and that other approaches are not of primary importance, including electrophysiology, modelling, neuroimaging or psychophysics in patients and healthy subjects. Rather, this indicates that the contribution of DES cannot be restricted, in humans, to the ubiquitous concepts of homunculus and somatotopy. DES is a fundamental tool in our attempt to understand the human brain because it represents a unique method for mapping sensorimotor pathways and interfering with the functioning of localized neural populations during the performance of well-defined behavioural tasks.

“…Для оценки степени информативности резуль-таты предоперационной фМРТ сопоставлялись с данными прямой интраоперационной электрости-муляции речевых зон мозга (DES -direct electrical stimulation), которая считается «золотым стандар-том» для их идентификации [16]. По поводу частоты совпадения локализации речевых зон у больных с глиомами, по данным фМРТ и электростимуляции, во время операций с пробуждением пациентов име-ются очень противоречивые мнения [17][18][19].…”
