Contralesional functional network reorganization of the insular cortex in diffuse low-grade glioma patients

Abstract Diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGGs) growing on the insular lobe induce contralesional hemispheric insular lobe compensation of damaged functioning by increasing cortical volumes. However, it remains unclear how functional networks are altered in patients with insular lobe DLGGs during functio...
