Cover of the October issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video. Schematic representation of hexamodal awake brain mapping for multilobar eloquent cortical resection. Every electrode subserves a unique neurophysiological mapping/monitoring function. Mapping the sensorimotor cortex (SSEP, MEP), ictal activity (ECoG), and language function (direct cortical stimulation) and monitoring the integrity of the auditory (AEP) and posterior visual (VEP) pathways comprise the six arms of multimodal cortical functional mapping. See the article by Dasarathan et al. (V4).
News — Rolling Meadows, IL (January 1, 2025). The January issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video () presents six videos on the topic of brain mapping for neurosurgery.
Topic Editors: Richard W. Byrne, Isabelle Germano, Joao P. Almeida, Shawn Hervey-Jumper, and Emmanuel Mandonnet
From the Topic Editors’ introduction: “In this edition of Neurosurgical Focus: Video, selected innovative videos are presented, allowing our readers to evaluate the latest in stimulation mapping innovation. Dynamic mapping techniques are best demonstrated using a dynamic format such as video.”
