Abstract
The dilemma of cerebral surgery is to optimize the extent of resection while preserving brain function [18]. This is particularly challenging when the lesion is located within eloquent areas, which is quite frequently the case, for example, for low-grade gliomas [19]. Since anatomical landmarks are crucial but definitely not sufficient to understand the individual anatomo-functional organization, brain mapping methods should now be used in a systematic manner in both the perioperative and the intraoperative period. Functional cortical mapping is the first step, as regularly reported in the recent literature. However, although detection and preserveration of the axonal connectivity are also essential, the subcortical structures have yet received little attention.
