Neurognostics is a functional MRI provider that has specific applications for clinical eloquent cortex prior to tumor resection
'''Eloquent cortex''' is a name used by [[neurology|neurologists]] for areas of [[Cerebral cortex|cortex]] that—if removed—will result in loss of [[senses|sensory]] processing or linguistic ability, [[paresis|minor paralysis]], or [[paralysis]]. The most common areas of eloquent cortex are in the left [[temporal lobe|temporal]] and [[frontal lobe]]s for [[Speech communication|speech]] and [[language]], bilateral [[occipital lobe]]s for [[Visual perception|vision]], bilateral [[parietal lobe]]s for [[touch|sensation]], and bilateral [[motor cortex]] for movement.
[[Neuroimaging]] techniques such as [[magnetic resonance imaging]], [[electroencephalography]], or [[magnetoencephalography]] are especially useful non-invasive tools to locate eloquent cortex.
