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.
