Summary
Maximizing extent of resection while minimizing neurological morbidity is a key tenet of glioma and epilepsy surgery. Numerous intraoperative and preoperative techniques exist to assess functional domains including motor and language. In this chapter, we describe the primary methods used to map brain function, with a focus on highlighting the neuroscience principles behind common language tasks used for language mapping.
