Brief Abstract: With advances in functional neurosurgery, awake craniotomy (open brain surgery in a conscious patient) has emerged as the “gold standard” procedure for the excision of diffuse low-grade gliomas that commonly occur in eloquent brain areas. My talk focuses on the neuropsychological aspects of awake craniotomy, drawing on my experiences from attachments in Italy and France as part of a team-AMDA training programme.
