Understanding the relationship between cognitive performance and function in daily life after traumatic brain injury

Objective: Cognitive impairment is a key cause of disability after traumatic brain injury (TBI) but relationships with overall functioning in daily life are often modest. The aim is to examine cognition at different levels of function and identify domains associated with disability. Methods: 1554 patients with mild-to-severe TBI were assessed at ...

A Practical Approach to Imaging of the Supplementary Motor Area and Its Subcortical Connections

Purpose of review: First, an anatomical and functional review of these cortical areas and subcortical connections with T-fMRI and tractography techniques; second, to demonstrate the value of this approach in neurosurgical planning in a series of patients with tumors close to the SMA. Recent findings: Implications in language and cognitive networks ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of postoperative functional plasticity in patients with brain tumors in language areas

Postoperative functional neuroimaging provides a unique opportunity to investigate the neural mechanisms that facilitate language network reorganization. Previous studies in patients with low grade gliomas (LGGs) in language areas suggest that postoperative recovery is likely due to functional neuroplasticity in peritumoral and contra-tumoral healthy regions, but have attributed varying degrees ...

Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension

The current fMRI study was designed to investigate whether the processing of different gender-related cues embedded in nouns affects the computation of agreement dependencies and, if so, where this possible interaction is mapped in the brain. We used the Spanish gender agreement system, which makes it possible to manipulate two ...
