Summary
This study tests whether adding a breath-holding task to standard functional MRI (fMRI) can better identify essential brain areas in people with brain tumors. Researchers will compare standard brain mapping with a version that uses breath-holding data to see if it reduces false results. The goal is to help surgeons avoid damaging critical language regions during tumor removal.
