“Presurgical Language Mapping with Functional MRI”
Featuring: Yanmei Tie, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, BWH

Mapping of language function is critical for neurosurgical planning when brain lesions are close to putative language areas. This talk will present Dr. Tie’s work of applying a non-invasive brain mapping technique, functional MRI (fMRI), for presurgical language mapping, using both task-based and easy fMRI paradigms.
