title: [Localization of cortical functions by electric stimulation and functional magnetic resonance tomography. Paradigms of neural stimulation].
abstract: In this review, localization of function is discussed with respect to distributed cortical areas involved in complex mental processing. After introducing the methodology of lesion studies, some results of studies using electrical cortical stimulation are presented. With respect to functional magnetic resonance imaging, results and problems from several experiments are reported, and further questions and perspectives regarding the two methods are outlined.
