Improving the efficacy and reliability of rTMS language mapping by increasing the stimulation frequency. [PDF]
Hum Brain Mapp, 2021 Repetitive TMS (rTMS) with a frequency of 5–10 Hz is widely used for language mapping. However, it may be accompanied by discomfort and is limited in the number and reliability of evoked language errors.

Movie-watching fMRI for presurgical language mapping in patients with brain tumour. [PDF]
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry, 2022 INTRODUCTION The primary goal of presurgical language mapping is localising critical language areas with high sensitivity (ie, capturing areas in which resection could lead to language deficits) and specificity (ie, excluding nonlanguage areas) and ...

A New Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Localizer for Preoperative Language Mapping Using a Sentence Completion Task: Validity, Choice of Baseline Condition, and Test–Retest Reliability [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 To avoid post-neurosurgical language deficits, intraoperative mapping of the language function in the brain can be complemented with preoperative mapping with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Improving specificity of stimulation-based language mapping in stuttering glioma patients: A mixed methods serial case study [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Objective: Stimulation-based language mapping relies on identifying stimulation-induced language disruptions, which preexisting speech disorders affecting the laryngeal and orofacial speech system can confound.

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.

Middle Frontal Gyrus and Area 55b: Perioperative Mapping and Language Outcomes
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Background: The simplistic approaches to language circuits are continuously challenged by new findings in brain structure and connectivity. The posterior middle frontal gyrus and area 55b (pFMG/area55b), in particular, has gained a renewed interest in ...
