Comprehensive resource features state-of-the-art brain mapping
techniques and pearls from international recognized neurosurgeons
Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa and Kaisorn Chaichana and coeditor
Deependra Mahato Despite advances in imaging techniques to identify
eloquent cortical brain regions and subcortical white matter, brain
mapping is the only method for obtaining real-time information with
high sensitivity and specificity. This groundbreaking technology
greatly enhances the neurosurgeon's ability to safely resect
challenging lesions located in eloquent areas of the brain. Brain
Mapping: Indications and Techniques by esteemed neurosurgeons
Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, Kaisorn Chaichana, and Deependra Mahato,
is a comprehensive overview of the most critical aspects of brain
mapping from leaders in the field. The book starts with discussion
of preoperative aspects, including the history of brain mapping and
anatomy of eloquent cortical and eloquent white matter tracts.
Subsequent chapters cover perioperative aspects of brain mapping
including indirect and direct functional mapping, the role of
neurophysiology, awake craniotomy operating room set-up and
surgical instruments, and anesthetic considerations. Diverse awake
and asleep brain mapping techniques are described for various
intracranial pathologies, as well as advances in postoperative
recovery of neurological function including physical and speech
therapy. Key Features Dedicated chapters focused on essential
sensory functions cover speech mapping, asleep motor mapping, awake
subcortical language mapping, and visual cortex and visual tract
mapping Disease- and region-specific techniques that encompass
extra-operative brain mapping for epilepsy, surgery mapping for
insular tumors, seizure mapping, and brainstem and spinal cord
mapping Clinical pearls on postoperative issues such as
rehabilitation, emergence of DBS-evoked functional connectomics,
brain neuroplasticity, and radiating eloquent areas High-quality
illustrations and videos enhance understanding of brain regions
targeted in different mapping techniques This is the most
comprehensive resource available to date on brain mapping and
surgery in eloquent regions. As such, it is a must-have for
neurosurgical residents, fellows, practicing neurosurgeons, and
allied healthcare practitioners who treat patients with brain
conditions. This book includes complimentary access to a digital
