Background Intraoperative functional mapping with direct electrical stimulation during awake surgery for patients with diffuse low-grade glioma has been used in recent years to optimize the balance between surgical resection and quality of life following surgery. Mapping of executive functions is particularly challenging because of their...

BACKGROUND: A plethora of cutting-edge neuroimaging analyses have been developed and published, yet they have not hitherto been realized as improvements in neurosurgical outcomes. In this paper we propose a novel interface be- tween neuroimaging and neurosurgery for aiding translational research. Our objective is to create a method for applying...

Background Gliomas are typically considered to cause relatively few neurological impairments. However, cognitive difcul ties can arise, for example during treatment, with potential detrimental efects on quality of life. Accurate, reproducible, and accessible cognitive assessment is therefore vital in understanding the efects of both tumor and...
