Six months after surgery, three patients suffered from a drop of verbal fluency. In all of them, frontal areas with presurgical language fMRI activity were resected. Our results suggest that resection in regions of areas with presurgical fMRI activation is not without risk for a postsurgical loss of function, even when ES results were negative for language function in these areas. Using fMRI activations might be specifically helpful to plan the resection when ES delivered inconclusive results.<br/> </p><p>PMID: 28952404 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]</p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Sun, 03 May 2026 7:04:34 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
