words only definitions & notes
  1. glioma
    a tumor of the brain consisting of neuroglia
    They used the method on 250 patients (146 men and 104 women) who had gliomas, a common and deadly form of brain tumor.
  2. brain tumor
    a tumor in the brain
    They used the method on 250 patients (146 men and 104 women) who had gliomas, a common and deadly form of brain tumor.
  3. bipolar
    pertaining to or occurring in northern and southern extremes
    After a neurosurgeon has removed part of the skull, the surgeon stimulates small sections -- approximately 1 centimeter square -- using a bipolar electrode.
  4. tumor
    an abnormal new mass of tissue that serves no purpose
    They used the method on 250 patients (146 men and 104 women) who had gliomas, a common and deadly form of brain tumor.
  5. mapping
    (mathematics) a mathematical relation such that each element of a given set (the domain of the function) is associated with an element of another set (the range of the function)
    The new technique, described in the Jan. 3 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, is called "negative brain mapping."
  6. surgery
    science treating disease or injury by operative procedures
    Surgery to remove brain tumors, such as gliomas, can often result in indirect damage to parts of the brain that control language ability, the researchers said.
  7. electrode
    a conductor used to make electrical contact with some part of a circuit
    After a neurosurgeon has removed part of the skull, the surgeon stimulates small sections -- approximately 1 centimeter square -- using a bipolar electrode.
  8. articulation
    the manner in which things come together and are connected
    This method relies on knowledge of brain areas that contain no language function, compared to the traditional method that requires identification -- with the patient's participation -- of areas that control speech, naming or articulation, the researchers said.
  9. percent
    a proportion in relation to a whole
    When the researchers followed up after a week after surgery, they found that three out of four (77.6 percent) of the patients had the same degree of language function they had prior to surgery.
  10. brain
    the organ that is the center of the nervous system
    The new technique, described in the Jan. 3 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, is called "negative brain mapping."
  11. skull
    the bony skeleton of the head of vertebrates
    After a neurosurgeon has removed part of the skull, the surgeon stimulates small sections -- approximately 1 centimeter square -- using a bipolar electrode.
  12. hemisphere
    half of a round, three-dimensional shape
    All tumors were in the dominant hemisphere of their brain.
  13. language
    a means of communicating by the use of sounds or symbols
    This method relies on knowledge of brain areas that contain no language function, compared to the traditional method that requires identification -- with the patient's participation -- of areas that control speech, naming or articulation, the researchers said.
  14. function
    what something is used for
    This method relies on knowledge of brain areas that contain no language function, compared to the traditional method that requires identification -- with the patient's participation -- of areas that control speech, naming or articulation, the researchers said.
  15. surgeon
    a physician who specializes in surgery
    After a neurosurgeon has removed part of the skull, the surgeon stimulates small sections -- approximately 1 centimeter square -- using a bipolar electrode.
  16. medicine
    the profession devoted to alleviating diseases and injuries
    The new technique, described in the Jan. 3 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, is called "negative brain mapping."
  17. square
    a polygon with four equal sides and four right angles
    After a neurosurgeon has removed part of the skull, the surgeon stimulates small sections -- approximately 1 centimeter square -- using a bipolar electrode.
