These studies include the evaluation of physiologic and anatomic interactions among these areas to determine how normal function and connectivity may be altered to achieve this pathologic state. These studies involve investigators from neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neuropathology, neuropsychology, and biomedical engineering.
