Direct Cortical Recordings Feasible for Monitoring Thalamocortical Tract During Craniotomy
Monitoring thalamocortical afferents via direct cortical recordings is feasible during brain tumor surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital researchers have demonstrated. Sometimes, changes in surgical management in response to somatosensory changes evoked potentials prevented worsening of preoperative sensory deficits.
