Description
Ziqi Liu and colleagues track, in a 2026 study, thinking problems after removal of tumors on the brain's language-dominant side. Meningiomas at the skull base near the temple can be reached by a route under the temporal lobe. The team enrolled 23 right-handed patients with tumors in the petroclival area during mid to late 2024. Thinking tests and resting brain scans ran the day before surgery, one week after, and three months after.
Patients operated on the dominant side, usually the left, dropped sharply on several test scores at one week. Six of ten in that group showed clear decline, while the non-dominant group held steady. Brain scans pointed to a disturbed network involving the cerebellum, the structure at the back of the brain. The title frames the disruption as temporary, an idea the three-month scans were designed to check.
