Plasticity of the Primary Motor Cortex in Patients with Primary Brain Tumors

Table 2

Patient characteristics. Characteristic information from patient cohort including age, hand dominance (L/R), time between scans (months), pathologic grade, growth rate (cm³/month), tumor volume at initial fMRI (cm³), distance from edge of tumor to primary motor cortex (cm), and NANO grade of the weakest limb (1^st exam, 2^nd exam).
