Non-Invasive Prehabilitation Shifted Language Networks Before Brain Tumor Surgery

Non-Invasive Prehabilitation Shifted Language Networks Before Brain Tumor Surgery

TL;DR: A 2026 preprint neurosurgery neuroplasticity study in medRxiv found that language-targeted prehabilitation selectively changed language-network topography, while language and cognitive performance were preserved after the intervention. Key Findings Study type: a prehabilitation study using neuromodulation, language training, task-based functional MRI (fMRI), and neuropsychological testing. People studied: 26 patients with operable brain tumors affecting language …

Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation: Benefits & Future Applications

Our brains contain around 100 billion neurons communicating through an intricate web of connections. This complex circuitry controls everything we think, feel, and do. But sometimes things can go wrong, leading to neurological disorders like epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, depression and Alzheimer’s. An exciting new approach called transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is showing great promise as …
