The transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) methodology for mapping the primary motor cortex (M1) for laryngeal muscles and Broca’s area was recently established on group of healthy subjects. Here we present the first patient with tumor in the frontal cortex of the left hemisphere that underwent mapping of M1 and Broca’s area as a part of preoperative neurosurgical planning.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with three described forms: The abundant, sporadic ALS (sALS) with approximately 90% of cases, the familial ALS (fALS) with 5-10%, and the very rare juvenile ALS (jALS) group, which is statistically less relevant. The wobbler mouse, a model for sALS, has been in the focus of research for many decades.
