Relative risk of language decline related to the virtual resection of ESM-defined language sites. The boosted tree ensemble model, incorporating auditory naming-related spectral responses, presents the group-level probability of a >5-point Core Language Score decline resulting from virtual resection of a given electrode site. (A) Virtual resection of an electrical stimulation mapping (ESM)-defined language site (i.e. cortical sites with ESM-induced receptive aphasia, auditory expressive aphasia, visual expressive aphasia or speech arrest). (B) Virtual resection of a site outside the ESM-defined language areas. (C) The relative risk (95% CI) of language decline related to the virtual resection of an ESM-defined language site, compared to that of a site outside.
