Keywords: brain connectivity; brain mapping; brain tumors; neuromodulation; nTMS; preoperative planning; tractography EN brain connectivity brain mapping brain tumors neuromodulation nTMS preoperative planning tractography 1 4 4 04/08/22 20220406 NES 220406 Surgery of brain tumors still represents a challenge for neurosurgeons, especially if these lesions are located close to or eventually infiltrate functionally-eloquent brain networks ([1]). Similarly, a study by Haddad et al. summarized the current evidence supporting the efficacy of preoperative nTMS mapping in improving the surgical planning, tumor resection, and postoperative outcome in brain tumor patients. Weiss Lucas et al. here proposed a novel robust and reliable picture naming tool, optimized for clinical use, to map and monitor language functions in brain tumor patients during preoperative nTMS mapping and awake surgery. Neuroplasticity is responsible for the final connectomic organization of functional brain networks and brain tumor patients usually show huge neuroplasticity phenomena.
