| Key points | Optical changes were measured in the cortex of five patients undergoing surgery for intractable epilepsy, and the sensory cortex and Broca's area were mapped in two awake patients under local anesthesia. The authors frame the work as an investigation of the organization of the sensory and motor cortices, language, and other cognitive processes of the human cortex. |
Abstract
for investigation of the organization of the sensory and motor cortices, language, and other cognitive processes" of the human cortex (Haglund, Ojemann, and Hochman, 1992, p. 668).Michael Haglund, George Ojemann, and Daryl Hochman measured optical changes in five persons undergoing surgery for intractable epilepsy, mapped the sensory cortex and Broca's area on two awake patients under local anesthesia,
