Evidence of glioma-induced cerebral plasticity-Network level studies.

Study Patients [number] Gliomagrade Imaging modality Function/network Key findings
Piai et al., 2020 14 LGG, HGG MEG Language Evidence of presurgical plasticity with the right hemisphere performing similar neuronal computations as the left dominant hemisphere
Thiel et al., 2001 61 LGG PET Language Evidence of intra- and interhemispheric compensation with recruitment of atypical language areas and frontolateral activation in the nondominant hemisphere
Southwell et al., 2016 18 LGG, HGG DES Language, sensory, motor Preservation of neurological function despite cortical function loss in the primary motor and somatosensory areas during repeat surgery
Gibb et al., 2020 6 HGG DES Somatosensory, motor Evidence of plasticity in the primary motor and somatosensory cortices of glioblastoma patients
Aabedi et al., 2021 12 LGG, HGG DES Language Glioma-infiltrated cortex recruits a diffuse broader network of atypical cortical regions and participates in coordinated neural responses during speech production
Rosenberg et al., 2008 1 LGG fMRI Language Compensation exerted by right hemisphere is incomplete; Change in language-related laterality from left to right corresponded to a decline in language function
Traut et al., 2019 73 LGG, HGG MEG Language Robust involvement of contralateral homotopic language areas in functional reorganization
Bulubas et al., 2020 78 LGG, HGG MEG Motor Both contralateral and ipsilateral motor cortices can compensate for impaired function in the primary motor cortex of brain tumor patients
Vassal et al., 2017 6 LGG fMRI Sensorimotor Increased interhemispheric connectivity between the primary sensorimotor cortex ipsilateral to the tumor and the contralateral SMA correlates with rapid motor recovery
Acioly et al., 2015 1 LGG fMRI Sensorimotor Functional motor recovery correlated with a shift of SMA activation to the contralateral hemisphere concomitant with an increase in the lateral premotor circuitry
Rosenberg et al., 2010 26 LGG, HGG fMRI Language, Motor Greater SMA activation in the lesioned hemisphere correlated with motor and language recovery
Duffau et al., 2002 3 LGG DES Language, Sensorimotor Evidence of surgical resection-induced functional reorganization in the peritumoral and infiltrated brain region
Bulubas et al., 2016 100 LGG, HGG nTMS Motor Evidence of significant contribution of ipsilateral secondary motor areas such as premotor cortex in patients with motor eloquent brain tumors
