This book provides up-to-date practical information on functional mapping in order to assist
neurosurgeons responsible for safely removing lesions in and around eloquent cortex ¿ one of
the greatest challenges in neurosurgery. The roles of pre- and intraoperative mapping
techniques are clearly explained highlighting the advantages and limitations of each tool
available to the neurosurgeon. The inclusion of treatment algorithms for applications in
specific clinical circumstances ensures that the book will serve as a clear guide to this most
complex of neurosurgical problems. To further assist the reader instructive clinical case
examples accompanied by intraoperative photos and other illustrative material help to explain
the applications of functional mapping of eloquent cortex in different pathologies.
Practitioners will find the book to be a ready guide to navigation of the practical decisions
commonly faced when operating in eloquent cortex.
