Abstract
Intraoperative functional mapping is an integral facet of many suprate ntorial procedures involving cortical resection. A new device is descr ibed that can be used in conjunction with a standard cortical stimulat or and strip electrodes to stimulate intraoperative regions of unexpos ed cerebral cortex. This permits the use of a smaller craniotomy, whil e providing the ability for functional mapping of large areas of surfa ce cortex.
