ai-fMRI = “awake” intraoperative functional MRI; WHO = World Health Organization.

a

The extent of resection was determined by volumetric analysis. Total was defined as 100% resection of the tumor volume based on T2-FLAIR or T1 contrast. Subtotal was defined as greater than 90%.

b

Good means the bilateral hands normally and equally moved. Failed (with the failed side) means that the hand indicated in parenthesis could not move. Weaker (with the weaker side) means that the hand indicated in parenthesis could not move as intensely and strongly as the other hand.

c

Propofol was administered using a target-controlled infusion (TCI) technique. The effect-site concentrations (μg ml− 1) before discontinuation for ai-fMRI were shown in this column.

d

The maintenance doses of remifentanil (μg kg− 1 min− 1) during ai-fMRI scan.
