Long-term stability of language with remapping in patients with medically refractory epilepsy

Key Points

This research aims to assess the long-term stability of language naming sites in the cortex of epilepsy patients.
Conducted a long-term series of neurosurgical mappings in adult patients with epilepsy.
Monitored the location of language naming sites over many years.
Analyzed instances of site relocation in specific patients.
Language naming sites show substantial long-term stability in most patients.
Relocation of language sites occurs rarely over the monitoring period.

Abstract

This unique, long-term series of neurosurgical mappings reveals that language naming sites in the cortex of adult patients with epilepsy show substantial long-term stability over many years. However, rare relocation of these sites does occur in some patients over many years.
