PREOPERATIVE SENSORIMOTOR MAPPING IN BRAIN TUMOR PATIENTS USING SPONTANEOUS FLUCTUATIONS IN NEURONAL ACTIVITY IMAGED WITH FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

Abstract

Resting-state correlation mapping is a promising tool for reliable functional localization of eloquent cortex. This method compares well with "gold standard" cortical stimulation mapping and offers several advantages compared with conventional motor mapping fMRI.
