Brain Mapping: From Neural Basis of Cognition to Surgical Applications

Unlock the Secrets of the Brain: A Comprehensive Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience and Its Clinical Applications nThe goal of this groundbreaking book is to forge a vital link between fundamental research in the field of cognitive neuroscience and its transformative clinical applications, particularly in neurosurgery . With a deeper understanding of the neural foundations of cerebral processing, this work offers new insights into brain organization and function. nInside, you will discover: The anatomical bases of brain function A thorough discussion of the advances and limitations of various methods of functional cerebral mapping Detailed explanations of updated models concerning sensorimotor , visuospatial , language , memory , emotional , and executive functions nIn light of these insights, the book proposes innovative strategies for the surgical management of cerebral lesions, enhancing the benefit-risk ratio of surgical interventions. Furthermore, it delves into the fascinating realms of brain connectivity and plasticity , grounded in translational studies that encompass serial functional neuroimaging, intraoperative cortico-subcortical electrical mapping, and biomathematical modeling of interactions between parallel distributed neural networks.
