MAPPING OF LANGUAGE BRAIN AREAS IN PATIENTS WITH BRAIN TUMOUR USING MEG

Language cortex in the human brain shows high variability among normal individuals. Particularly, in the presence ofbrain tumors, language specific areas may also be shifted from their original positions because of the growth of the tumor. Mapping the precise location of language areas is importa...
