Functional Plasticity of the Motor Cortical Structures Demonstrated by Navigated TMS in Two Patients with Epilepsy

Background: Recently, navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has been suggested to be useful in preoperative functional localization of motor cortex in patients having tumors close to the somatomotor cortex. Resection of tumors in anatomically predicted eloquent areas without adverse eff...
