Open AccessOpportunities and challenges of supervised machine learning for the classification of motor evoked potentials according to muscles
Even for an experienced neurophysiologist, it is challenging to look at a single graph of an unlabeled motor evoked potential (MEP) and identify the corresponding muscle. We demonstrate that supervised machine...

Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring and Map** of the Motor System During Surgery for Supratentorial Lesions Under General Anesthesia
The resection of supratentorial tumors may be associated with functional morbidity, particularly when the lesions are located near blood vessels or near the eloquent cortices and tracts (e.g., the motor cortex...

Open AccessArterial collateral anatomy predicts the risk for intra-operative changes in somatosensory evoked potentials in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy: a prospective cohort study
During carotid endarterectomy (CEA), significant amplitude decrement of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) is associated with post-operative neurological deficits.

Continuous dynamic map** to avoid accidental injury of the facial nerve during surgery for large vestibular schwannomas
In vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery postoperative facial nerve (CN VII) palsy is reducing quality of life. Recently, we have introduced a surgical suction device for continuous dynamic map** to provide fee...

Tissue Impedance Spectroscopy to Guide Resection of Brain Tumours
Visual differentiation of lower grade glioma tissue from normal brain tissue during surgery is difficult even for expert neurosurgeons. Therefore, during tumour removal neurosurgeons rely on image guidance. It...

5-ALA complete resections go beyond MR contrast enhancement: shift corrected volumetric analysis of the extent of resection in surgery for glioblastoma
The technique of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) tumor fluorescence is increasingly used to improve visualization of tumor tissue and thereby to increase the rate of patients with gross total resections. In this...
