Summary

Lateralization and localization of language in the brain is a critical component of surgical planning for patients with epilepsy or brain tumors who require neurosurgical intervention. Accurate language mapping allows the surgeon to conduct the most aggressive surgery possible, enhancing the chance for cure, while avoiding regions critical for language function; striking this balance is critical for maximizing the patient’s quality of life. A range of invasive and non-invasive language mapping techniques are available. This chapter provides a comparative analysis of these techniques and offers a detailed discussion on a newer, non-invasive method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Using a superficial coil placed on the scalp, TMS generates a magnetic field that creates a temporary “virtual lesion” in the brain, thereby delineating eloquent cortex. TMS is a safe and well-tolerated procedure for both pediatric and adult populations which closely mimics the “gold-standard” invasive mapping techniques. TMS is becoming an integral component of neurosurgical planning and also shows promise as a research tool for studying typical language development and function in healthy populations.

Accessibility standard: WCAG 2.2 AAA

Why this information is here

This section outlines the accessibility features of this content - including support for screen readers, full keyboard navigation and high-contrast display options. This may not be relevant for you.

Accessibility Information

The PDF of this book complies with version 2.2 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), offering more comprehensive accessibility measures for a broad range of users and attains the highest (AAA) level of WCAG compliance, optimising the user experience by meeting the most extensive accessibility guidelines.

Content Navigation

Table of contents navigation
Allows you to navigate directly to chapters, sections, or non‐text items through a linked table of contents, reducing the need for extensive scrolling.

Index navigation
Provides an interactive index, letting you go straight to where a term or subject appears in the text without manual searching.

Reading Order & Textual Equivalents

Single logical reading order
You will encounter all content (including footnotes, captions, etc.) in a clear, sequential flow, making it easier to follow with assistive tools like screen readers.

Short alternative textual descriptions
You get concise descriptions (for images, charts, or media clips), ensuring you do not miss crucial information when visual or audio elements are not accessible.

Full alternative textual descriptions
You get more than just short alt text: you have comprehensive text equivalents, transcripts, captions, or audio descriptions for substantial non‐text content, which is especially helpful for complex visuals or multimedia.

Visual Accessibility

Use of colour is not sole means of conveying information
You will still understand key ideas or prompts without relying solely on colour, which is especially helpful if you have colour vision deficiencies.

Use of high contrast between text and background colour
You benefit from high‐contrast text, which improves legibility if you have low vision or if you are reading in less‐than‐ideal lighting conditions.
