Abstract

Abstract Brain mapping is a gold standard for the surgery of tumors in eloquent area. Especially subcortical mapping is an essential method for the preservation of important neural fibers conveying motor, sensory and even higher brain functions such as language control. The efforts to estimate the fiber localizations in brain white matter sometimes result in the unprecise identification that is caused by several factors including electrical heterogeneity of brain tissues. To solve this long-standing problem, NY Tract Finder (Yamaguchi Tract Finder) was invented and has been used for intraoperative brain mappings. Now this electrode and method is used in more than 30 major hospitals in Japan, China, Taiwan and Russia. The novel and unique neural fiber positioning technique and our efforts for the maximal preservation of patients’ QOL will be introduced.
