lillie is known about the sexual differences in volume of human insular cortex in normal subjects and those suffering from ncurodcgcncrativc diseases. the objective of this study is 10 investigate the sex difference in volume of the left insular cortex in normal right-handed subjects versus subjects suffering from alzheimer and parkinson diseases. this study was performed on 72 normal human bra...

Abstract BACKGROUND Insular gliomas pose a significant surgical challenge due to the insula’s delicate surrounding functional and vascular anatomy. are conventionally treated with open resection augmented by several adjuvants. Despite advancements in technology techniques, of insular has been associated frequent potentially severe morbidity. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is novel, c...

The insular cortex is circumscribed with three limiting sulci, so progression patterns of insulo-opercular gliomas can be categorized into tumor progression limited to the insular cortex, tumor progression via the anterior limiting sulcus, tumor progression via the inferior limiting sulcus, and tumor progression via the superior limiting sulcus. Recent improvements in clinical accessibility and...

AIM The result of surgical resection for insular high-grade glioma (HGG) is disappointing due to the complex anatomy of insula and aggressive growth of HGG. The use of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) was reported to improve the results of glioma surgery. The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of high-field iMRI and functional neuronavigation on the surgical resection of insul...
