Adaptive Language Mapping Paradigms for Presurgical Language Mapping. [PDF]
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol, 2022 Functional MR imaging is widely used for preoperative language assessment in candidates for resective neurosurgery. Language mapping paradigms that are adaptive to participant performance have the potential to engage the language network more robustly and consistently, resulting in more accurate functional maps.

Presurgical Language Mapping: What Are We Testing? [PDF]
J Pers Med, 2023 Gliomas are brain tumors infiltrating healthy cortical and subcortical areas that may host cognitive functions, such as language. If these areas are damaged during surgery, the patient might develop word retrieval or articulation problems. For this reason, many glioma patients are operated on awake, while their language functions are tested.

Language Mapping in Aphasia. [PDF]
J Speech Lang Hear Res, 2019 PurposeRecovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, functional reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in language processing. To make progress in characterizing the nature of this process, we need feasible, reliable, and valid methods for identifying language regions of the ...
