Brain surgery in the language dominant hemisphere remains challenging due to unintended post-surgical deficits, despite using pre-surgical functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) and intraoperative cortical stimulation. Moreover, patients are often recommended not undergo if accompanying risk appears be too high. While standard fMRI mapping protocols may have relatively good predictive value at group level, they remain sub-optimal on an individual level. The tests used typically assess...
Brain tumors located close to the language cortex may distort functional MRI (fMRI)-based estimates of dominance. The nature this distortion, and whether is an artifact numerous confounders, remains unknown. authors hypothesized tumor bias based on laterality independent confounders that effects are greatest for proximal Broca's area.
Background: As part of a broad investigation brain and behavior, the UCLA Big C Project studied whether “Big C” (world-class) artistic scientific creativity is linked with schizotypal autistic features temperamental traits are associated creativity. Methods: With Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), International Item Pool Representation NEO PI-R (IPIP-NEO), we examined more than 30 individuals each in 3 groups: Visual Artists (VA), Scientists...
