Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurophysiology
  • Neuroscience

Context:

  • Interindividual variability in central nervous system anatomy and function necessitates precise brain mapping.
  • Eloquent brain regions are vulnerable to neurological sequelae following surgery.
  • Preoperative imaging and intraoperative electrical stimulation are key functional mapping techniques.

Purpose:

  • To review the electrophysiological principles of direct brain stimulation.
  • To guide the selection of stimulation parameters for personalized patient care.
  • To analyze the clinical and methodological contributions of intraoperative electrical mapping.

Summary:

  • Intraoperative cortico-subcortical electrical stimulation is a safe and accurate method for mapping eloquent brain structures.

  • Rigorous methodology is essential to prevent false positives (premature resection termination) and false negatives (unnecessary removal of critical areas).
  • This technique optimizes surgical indications, minimizes permanent deficits, and enhances resection quality.

    • Impact:

    • Validates non-invasive neurofunctional imaging techniques.
    • Advances understanding of brain structure pathophysiology and connectivity.
    • Contributes to understanding neural plasticity mechanisms.
