New publication: Preoperative Brain Mapping Predicts Language Outcomes After Eloquent Tumor Resection
When operating on gliomas near critical language regions, surgeons risk either leaving residual tumor or inducing permanent postoperative language deficits (PLDs). Despite the advent of intraoperative mapping techniques, subjective judgments frequently determine important surgical decisions. We aim to inform data-driven surgery by constructing a non-invasive mapping approach that quantitatively predicts the impact of individual surgical decisions on long-term language functio

GAB2025 in Aachen - Gesellschaft für Aphasieforschung und -behandlung
Excited to be giving a keynote at the Gesellschaft für Aphasieforschung und -behandlung (GAB) this week in Aachen, Germany. I’ll be speaking on the reorganisation of language networks in aphasia — bringing together insights from neuroanatomy , variability in white matter connectivity, and the potential of receptor-enriched connectomics. Looking forward to engaging with clinicians , researchers , and therapists dedicated to advancing our understanding and treat

OHBM makes all content public
What if you could journey back in time to hear world-leading neuroscientists present the ideas that shaped today's brain science? A new open-access initiative led by researchers from the Donders Institute, in collaboration with the Organisation for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM), makes that possible. Dubbed the OHBM Time Machine , this initiative opens up more than a decade of scientific talks—previously accessible only to conference attendees—to the global public. The channel ma
