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 function. This study...

NEURAL 2025 “Emergent Properties of the Connected Brain” begins in Bordeaux today! The room is ready, the programmes are set, and a week of deep discussion on  emergence  is about to start. We’re welcoming an international, multidisciplinary group to explore how complex meaning arises across levels — from neural dynamics to  cognition  — using the latest  neuroimaging  tools across  neurosurgery   neuroscience   linguistics   neurology   speechandlanguagetherapy . 🧠 Tools and methods we’ll...

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  treatment  of aphasia.
