🧠✨ From planning to precision: The power of brain mapping in neurosurgeryIn the evolving landscape of neurosurgery, #brain mapping has become a cornerstone of precision and safety. Today, we’re witnessing the remarkable #synergy between preoperative transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and intraoperative mapping techniques – a combination that’s transforming how we approach eloquent brain areas.🔬 Preoperative TMS allows us to non-invasively map #motor and #language functions before surgery, helping to:- Identify critical cortical areas
- Plan safer surgical #trajectories- Reduce the #risk of postoperative #deficits⚡ But the journey doesn’t stop there.During surgery, intraoperative brain #mapping – using #direct cortical and subcortical #stimulation – provides #real-time, patient-specific feedback. This #dynamic approach enables:- Continuous functional monitoring
- Adaptation to brain shift
- Maximum tumour resection with minimal functional compromiseTogether, these tools empower neurosurgeons to operate with unprecedented confidence and clarity, ensuring that every decision is guided by both data and real-time feedback.🧩 It’s not just about removing pathology – it’s about preserving what makes us who we are.#brainmapping#TMS#neurosurgery#intraoperativemonitoring#neurotechnology#patientsafety#functionalpreservation#neuroinnovation#surgicalplanning
