  • Note.—iCM indicates intraoperative epidural cortical brain mapping; fMRI, functional magnetic resonance imaging; iSEP, intraoperative somatosensory-evoked potentials; iBS, intraoperative epidural motor cortex bipolar stimulodetection.

  • * UL indicates upper limb; LL, lower limb; TN, trigeminal neuropathy; ScS, subcortical stroke; SS, spinal syrinx; PA, plexus avulsion; PRP, postradic plexopathy; A, amputation.

  • Quality scales for iCM and fMRI targeting are: 0, no significant target; +, fair and ambiguous target; ++, unambiguous target altered by artifacts/wave attenuation; +++, unambiguous and precise target.

  • P values correspond to the analysis threshold of fMRI activation areas. Values less than .001 correspond to the initial analysis threshold; some targets remained significant for values less than .00001.

  • § Not studied indicates that comparisons between both sides were not studied because of alterations resulting from residual motion artifacts.

  • Distances reported between targets were measured intraoperatively by means of the neuronavigation microscope. They are purely indicative and do not reflect the resolution of fMRI and iCM.

  • Excellent/good indicate important/partial overlap between fMRI target or unambiguous/ambiguous iCM target (note that ambiguous iCM targets impede correlations for both targets at more restrictive P values).
