Introduction: Penfield’s motor homunculus describes a caricaturised yet useful representation of the map of various body parts on the pre-central cortex. We propose a supplemental map of the clinically represented areas of human body in pre-central cortex and a novel subcortical corticospinal tract map that are accurate and essential for safe surge...

Despite being associated with high-order neurocognitive functions, the frontal lobe plays an important role in core neurological functions, such as motor and language functions. The aim of this study was to present a neurosurgical perspective of the cortical and subcortical anatomy of the frontal lobe in terms of surgical treatment of intraaxial fr...

Background
Bi-polar electrical cortical stimulation during awake craniotomy has been the gold standard for mapping eloquent cortex to preserve speech. Unfortunately, not all patients can tolerate awake surgery. Monopolar hi-frequency electrical stimulation can be conducted while a patient is under general anesthesia. Utilizing this technique and ta...
