Direct Evidence of Plasticity within Human Primary Motor and Somatosensory Cortices of Patients with Glioblastoma

Figure 3

Plasticity, near recruitment. The yellow box highlights the same cortical area overlying the tumor. At the first surgery, there is no functional activation in this area. At the second surgery, both motor and sensory functions are recruited into this perilesional cortical area (Points G-J, P). This is a prototype of near recruitment plasticity.
