Presurgical language mapping: what are we testing?

Roelien Bastiaanse, Ph.D.
University of Groningen

Low Grade Gliomas are infiltrating brain tumours that often occur in so-called
'eloquent' areas, areas that host motor or cognitive functions such as
language. In order to avoid resection of areas important for language, the
patients are awake during surgery in order to monitor their language
functions. This is distressing for both the patient and the surgery team.
Recently, protocols for navigated TMS have been developed for presurgical
language mapping. This technique is rather advanced, but the language tests
that are used are rather primitive. In this talk I will present a test that is
a little more sophisticated and still suitable for pre- and intra-operative
use. The results of healthy adults will show that there are still many
problems to solve.
