Role of right frontal regions in cognition: evidence from intraoperative stimulation in awake people
The contribution of right frontal regions to cognition is relatively poorly understood compared to language, praxis and executive functions of homologous regions in the left hemisphere. Indeed, when it comes to tumour resection, it is often assumed that right frontal regions make little appreciable contribution to cognitive function. As a result, intraoperative mapping of ‘functionally eloquent’ regions is often confined to cases where the tumour is in the language-dominant left hemisphere or near motor regions.
