Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...

g20 world brain mapping initiative (neuroscience/n-20) is putting brain mapping on the top of global economic issues the society for brain mapping, therapeutics, and brain mapping foundation are propelling therapeutic advances in nano-neurosurgery, nano-bio-electronics, artificial intelligence, neuro-supercomputing and ‘cross-pollination’ among the bio-medical sciences and engineering worldwide...

After the introduction of MRI, new modalities facilitated the procedure of surgical planning to achieve the microsurgical goal and improve prognosis and quality of life in patients. Despite the variable applications of preoperative and intraoperative mapping and monitoring systems, several limitations and concerns are reported for every modality as well. In this issue of the IrJNS, we are delig...

background & importance: insular lobe is located at the depth of sylvian fissure and is hidden by frontal, temporal and parietal lobes in close vicinity of internal capsule and basal ganglia and adjacent to the speech centers in the dominant hemisphere. thus, radical resection of insular gliomas can be even more difficult. brain mapping techniques can be used to maximize the extent of tumor rem...

seen as designed mega-analyses, and the necessary databasing, data-sharing and analysis tools are emerging (Keator et al., 2008, 2009; Bockholt et al., 2009). In the following, current limitations in function-location brain mapping are examined, along with strategies for their remediation through data pooling. Following the meta/mega-analysis distinction frequently employed in the fi eld, the a...
