Male, 28 years old, with left temporal epilepsy, assess for language and motor areas. Sensorimotor cortical activity maps as expected along the pre- and postcentral gyri.The most reliable language related cortical activity was achieved with the sentence completion paradigm. Language is left dominant. Cortical activity related to Broca's area maps as expected along the left inferior frontal gyrus. Cortical activity related to Wernicke's area maps as expected along the left superior temporal sulcus.
Successful functional MRI for surgical planning. Sensorimotor cortical activity maps as expected along the pre- and postcentral gyri. Language is left dominant with Broca's and Wernicke's areas identified as above.
