Scientists to map brain functions during awake tumor surgery
NCT ID NCT07170436
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to better understand which brain areas handle tasks like memory, language, and perception. 120 patients with brain tumors will perform short cognitive tests before and during awake surgery. By comparing test results, researchers hope to create a map of brain regions involved in these functions, which could help guide future surgeries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could create a detailed map of brain regions linked to memory, language, and perception, improving surgical precision.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with no treatment being tested. Results may not apply to all patients or lead to direct clinical changes.
