Language Mapping in Aphasia. [PDF]
J Speech Lang Hear Res, 2019 Purpose Recovery 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.

Factors Modifying the Amount of Neuroanatomical Overlap between Languages in Bilinguals—A Systematic Review of Neurosurgical Language Mapping Studies [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2020 Neurosurgery on individuals with lesions around language areas becomes even more complicated when the patient is bilingual. It is thus important to understand the principles that predict the likelihood of convergent versus separate neuroanatomical ...

The role of resting-state functional MRI for clinical preoperative language mapping [PDF]
Cancer Imaging, 2020 Background Task-based functional MRI (tb-fMRI) is a well-established technique used to identify eloquent cortex, but has limitations, particularly in cognitively impaired patients who cannot perform language paradigms.

Validation of Non-invasive Language Mapping Modalities for Eloquent Tumor Resection: A Pilot Study. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2022 Many studies have established a link between extent of resection and survival in patients with gliomas. Surgeons must optimize the oncofunctional balance by maximizing the extent of resection and minimizing postoperative neurological morbidity ...

A Data-Based Approach for Selecting Pre- and Intra-Operative Language Mapping Tasks. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2021 Background: Pre- and intra-operative language mapping in neurosurgery patients frequently involves an object naming task. The choice of the optimal object naming paradigm remains challenging due to lack of normative data and standardization in mapping ...
