Cerebral Cortex - Surgery
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cerebral Cortex'The thin layer of gray matter on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere that develops from the telencephalon and folds into gyri. It reaches its highest development in man and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions. Common names: Cerebral Cortex; Cerebral Cortices; Cortex, Cerebral; Cortices, Cerebral; Insula of Reil; Reil Insula |

Subcortical mapping and monitoring during insular tumor surgery.
29 Sep 2009 
OBJECT: The treatment of insular tumors is controversial. Surgical treatment is associated with a higher morbidity rate than other therapies. The present work presents a new method in which the descending motor pathways are monitored during surgery ... Read more...
Challenges in the surgical treatment of epilepsy patients with cortical dysplasia.
29 Sep 2009 Cortical dysplasia (CD) is the most common malformation of cortical development in epilepsy surgery patients. Patients with mild Palmini type I CD represent about 50% of the surgical cases, and these lesions tend to occur most often in the temporal ... Read more...
From human tissue to animal models: Insights into the pathogenesis of cortical dysplasia.
29 Sep 2009 Cortical dysplasia, a malformation of the cerebral cortex of developmental origin, accounts for most cases of drug-resistant childhood epilepsy. Despite its prevalence, the genetic and molecular bases for the disease are not known for most cases. ... Read more...
