Navigated repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for language mapping: a new tool for surgical planning

  • Chapter
Brain Mapping

Abstract

When a resection in dominant perisylvian areas is needed, language function is a major concern [1, 2, 3, 4]. Different methods, both invasive and non-invasive, have been used to address this issue, such as functional MRI (fMRI), MEG (magnetoencephalography), event related potentials, PET scanning, cortico-cortical potentials and DCS (direct cortical stimulation) — the latest considered up to now as the gold standard both for cortical and subcortical mapping as well as for intraoperative monitoring [5, 6, 7, 8]. Furthermore, different specific language tasks have been used to segment language function into distinct subsets of cerebral organizational resources for all the methods previously mentioned.
