Abstract:
Preoperative mapping is of prime importance in oncological neurosurgery to avoid any kind of postoperative impairment, such as neuropsychological deficits. 20 healthy volunteers underwent navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for the detection of cortical neglect-related areas. In total, the highest error rates were observed in bilateral frontal lobes (right: 35%, left: 40%). In conclusion, the mapping of neglect-related areas need further improvement in following studies.
