Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for “Somatotopic” Tractography of the Corticospinal Tract

Operative Neurosurgery, 2014
Diffusion tensor imaging tractography provides 3-dimensional reconstruction of principal white matter tracts, but its spatial accuracy has been questioned. Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) enables somatotopic mapping of the motor cortex.We used motor maps to reconstruct the corticospinal tract (CST) by integrating elements of its ...

Resection of meningiomas located in motor eloquent areas – comparative analysis of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation and conventional neuronavigation

Neurological Research
Background Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has been established as a preoperative diagnostic procedure in glioma surgery, increasing the extent of resection and preserving functional outcome.

Development and characterization of the InVesalius Navigator software for navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2018
Neuronavigation provides visual guidance of an instrument during procedures of neurological interventions, and has been shown to be a valuable tool for accurately positioning transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coils relative to an individual's anatomy.

Brain tumor surgery guided by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation mapping for arithmetic calculation.

Journal of Neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE The onco-functional balance represents the primary goal in neuro-oncology. The increasing use of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) allows the noninvasive characterization of cortical functional anatomy, and its reliability for ...

Analysis of bihemispheric language function in pediatric neurosurgical patients using repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics
OBJECTIVE Language dominance in the developing brain can vary widely across anatomical and pathological conditions as well as age groups. Repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rnTMS) has been applied to calculate the hemispheric ...

Electrocorticography and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation-tailored supratotal resection for epileptogenic low-grade gliomas.

Journal of Neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE Epilepsy is commonly associated with low-grade gliomas (LGGs), impacting patients' well-being. While resection is the primary treatment, seizures can persist postoperatively in 27%-55% of cases.

Appliance of Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2020
Purpose: Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) provides noninvasive visualization of eloquent brain areas. The nTMS is usually applied in presurgical planning to minimize the risk of surgery-related neurological deterioration.

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Planning Epilepsy Surgery

2018
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is increasingly used for noninvasive functional mapping of eloquent cortical areas in preoperative evaluation for brain surgery. Reliability of nTMS has been studied in healthy populations. Here we describe the methods and protocols for nTMS mapping of motor- and language-related cortical areas and ...

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography in Insular Glioma Surgery.

Operative Neurosurgery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The surgical resection of insular gliomas is associated with a high rate of postoperative morbidity as they grow close to descending motor fibers and lenticulostriate arteries.

Introducing navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation as a refined brain mapping methodology

Neurosurgical Review, 2001
A major intrinsic limitation of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to map the human brain lies in the unclear relationship between the position of the stimulating coil on the scalp and the underlying stimulated cortex. The relationship between structure and function as the major feature constituting a brain mapping modality can therefore not be ...
