报告题目： Simple math in the parietal lobes: evidence from awake surgery
报告人：Dr. Carlo Semenza
摘要：The logic underlying awake neurosurgery will be briefly described along with main results concerning the application of cognitive tasks for the purpose of preserving mental functions after operations to the brain. Results will be reported of electrostimulation to the parietal lobe, on both the right and the left side, on simple addition and multiplication. The distribution of positive sites will be discussed in relation to existing literature. The findings suggest a different mode of operation in the two hemispheres that differently contribute to the tasks. Medical implications will also be discussed.
