Awake surgery for gliomas within the right inferior parietal lobule: new insights into the functional connectivity gained from stimulation mapping and surgical implications

Little is known about the functional role of the white matter connections running within and around the right inferior parietal lobule (IPL). We used direct electrostimulation during awake surgery to investigate this connectivity and to avoid permanent deficit following resection for right IPL gliomas.
