$3.6 Million to Fund Personalized 3-D Brain Maps to Guide Neurosurgeries
Neurosurgeons must avoid cutting into parts of the brain responsible for key functions such as language (orange) and vision (green), but individuals vary in where such functions are located (each of the top images compared with the bottom images above).
