Gliomatosis cerebri in children: a poor prognostic phenotype of diffuse gliomas with a distinct molecular profile

Childhood Gliomatosis Cerebri: A Poor Prognosis Phenotype of Diffuse Glioma with Distinct Molecular Characteristics Introduction Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a highly invasive form of diffuse glioma. It was initially discarded as an independent pathological type due to its indeterminate molecular characteristics. However, with the advancements in mo...

The Association Between Task Complexity and Cortical Language Mapping Accuracy

Correlation between Task Complexity and Accuracy of Cortical Language Mapping Introduction This study aimed to investigate whether task complexity affects the accuracy of mapping language functions during direct cortical stimulation mapping (DCS). The researchers hypothesized that due to the reduced computational ability of neurons in the cortex in...

Predicting the risk of neurocognitive decline after brain irradiation in adult patients with a primary brain tumor

Background Introduction: Radiotherapy is a major treatment modality for brain tumor patients, but it can cause cognitive decline as a side effect, which is one of the most concerning complications. Currently, there is a lack of tools in clinical practice to assess the risk of cognitive decline in patients. The purpose of this study is to establish ...
