PRE-SURGICAL FMRI LOCALIZATION OF THE HAND MOTOR CORTEX IN BRAIN TUMORS: COMPARISON BETWEEN FINGER TAPPING TASK AND A NEW VISUAL-TRIGGERED FINGER MOVEMENT TASK

Introduction: Pre-surgical mapping is clinically essential in the surgical management of brain tumors to preserve functions.A common technique to localize eloquent areas is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).In tumors involving the peri-rolandic regions, the finger tapping task (FTT) is typically administered to delineate the functional a

The performance evaluation of 3D reconstruction techniques is not a simple problem to solve.This is not only due to the increased dimensionality of the problem but also due to the lack of standardized and widely accepted testing methodologies.This paper presents a unified framework for the performance evaluation of different 3D reconstruction techn

This article proposes ways to improve inclusion and training in microbiome science and advocates Gifts - Agendas for resource expansion to improve scientific capacity across institutions and countries.Specifically, we urge mentors, collaborators, and decision-makers to commit to inclusive and accessible research and training that improves the Pipe

Background: The utilisation of e-government by citizens in Africa remains limited due to resource constraints and various socioeconomic challenges.Nevertheless, Namibia, for example, has shown a strong interest in Astaxanthin adopting and implementing e-government, as evidenced by the periodic release of policy frameworks encouraging this use.Objec
