Scientists map Brain's electrical response during tumor surgery
NCT ID NCT02509442
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how electrical pulses used by surgeons during awake brain surgery affect the brain. Researchers will measure brain waves in 12 people with low-grade glioma before and after tumor removal. The goal is to better understand which brain networks are turned off by the stimulation, not to treat the disease directly.
