The aims of the present study were the following: a) to test FMRI capability to localize with a conventional scanner the primary motor cortex of the hand in patients with brain neoplasms; b) to compare activated areas in the pathologic hemisphere with the correspondent contralateral ones.
Neoplasms compressing or infiltrating cerebral cortex often alter the normal anatomy in such a way that the neurosurgeon can not easily localize and spare functional areas. Moreover, the results of mass effect on brain functional anatomy have not been extensively investigated in vivo yet.

Abstract
Neoplasms compressing or infiltrating cerebral cortex often alter the normal anatomy in such a way that the neurosurgeon can not easily localize and spare functional areas. Moreover, the results of mass effect on brain functional anatomy have not been extensively investigated in vivo yet.File in questo prodotto:
