When surgeons perform brain surgery on people with brain tumors or epilepsy, they need to remove the tumor or abnormal tissue while preserving parts of the brain that control language and movement. A new study may better inform doctors' decisions about which brain areas to preserve, thereby improving patients' language function after brain surgery.
When surgeons perform brain surgery on people with brain tumor s or epilepsy, they need to remove the tumor or abnormal tissue while preserving parts of the brain that control language and movement. A new study may better inform doctors' decisions about which brain areas to preserve, thereby improving patients' language function after brain surgery.
If you think of the brain's language network as a social network, scientists have essentially found the person who is the link between lots of subnetworks of people. They wouldn't know each other if not for this single person. In the brain, these"connectors" serve the same function for language.
"When someone is speaking, many sites in the brain are active, yet only a handful of those sites are identified as critical to those functions by being perturbed during stimulation. Answering this question could help us understand how electrical stimulation affects the brain and how the brain produces spoken language."Currently, many patients with brain tumors undergo between 20 and 60 minutes of stimulation time while they are awake in surgery.
Other Northwestern study authors are Jason K. Hsieh, Prashanth R. Prakash, Robert D. Flint, Zachary Fitzgerald, Emily Mugler, Jessica W. Templer, Joshua M. Rosenow and Matthew C. Tate.
