Evaluation of the density spectral array in the Wada test: report of six cases [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2021 Wada test is an invasive procedure used in the preoperative evaluation for epilepsy surgery to determine language lateralization, postoperative risk of amnesia syndrome, and to assess the risk of memory deficits. It involves injection of amobarbital into

Determination of language areas in patients with epilepsy using the super-selective Wada test [PDF]
IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2022 The Wada test is the gold standard for determining language-dominant hemisphere. However, the precise determination of language areas in each patient requires more invasive methods, such as electrocortical stimulation.

A comparison of propofol and amobarbital for use in the Wada test [PDF]
Seizure: the Journal of the British Epilepsy Association, 2012 129 Wada procedures were reviewed to examine the suitability of propofol (n=54) as a replacement to amobarbital (n=75) for use as an anaesthetic in the Wada test. Suitability was considered with respect to length of hemiplegia induced, the frequency of side effects and patient memory scores.

Noninvasive Prediction of Language Lateralization Through Arcuate Fasciculus Tractography in Patients With Low-Grade Gliomas: Correlation With The Wada Test [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 Language lateralization is unique to humans, so clarifying dominant side is helpful for removing gliomas involving language areas. This study investigated the arcuate fasciculus (AF) reconstructed by diffusion tensor imaging–based tractography (DTT) in ...

Localization of beta power decrease as measure for lateralization in pre-surgical language mapping with magnetoencephalography, compared with functional magnetic resonance imaging and validated by Wada test [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Objective: Atypical patterns of language lateralization due to early reorganizational processes constitute a challenge in the pre-surgical evaluation of patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.

The Wada test with propofol in a patient with epilepsy [PDF]
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2000 The usual drug used in the Wada test is amobarbital, but it is not available in Brazil. Propofol was already used by Bazin et al. in 1998, and in their report the test resulted good in the absence of any adverse effect.

Wada test results contribute to the prediction of change in verbal learning and verbal memory function after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 In recent years, the clinical usefulness of the Wada test (WT) has been debated among researchers in the field. Therefore, we aimed to assess its contribution to the prediction of change in verbal learning and verbal memory function after epilepsy ...

Changes in measures of consciousness during anaesthesia of one hemisphere (Wada test) [PDF]
NeuroImage, 2021 Background: In the Wada test, one hemisphere is selectively anaesthetised by unilateral intracarotid injection of a fast-acting anaesthetic agent. This gives a unique opportunity to observe the functions and physiological activity of one hemisphere while

Testing for Basins of Wada [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractNonlinear systems often give rise to fractal boundaries in phase space, hindering predictability. When a single boundary separates three or more different basins of attraction, we say that the set of basins has theWada property and initial conditions near that boundary are even more unpredictable.
