Structural network alterations associated with surgical resection of temporal gliomas
Surgical resection of temporal gliomas can decrease FA and FN, indicating the damage to the integrity of WM tracts. Though the global structure shows no significant differences after surgery, the decreases in degree centrality and nodal efficiency in some regions may indicate the decline of brain function. The compensatory increases in these graph metrics in some regions may show the recovery from glioma invasion. Our structural analysis may provide a new method to assess post-operative recovery in patients with temporal gliomas.
