This study reports on the characteristics and distribution of naming errors of patients
undergoing cortical stimulation mapping (CSM). During the procedure, electrical stimulation
is used to induce temporary functional lesions and locate 'essential'language areas for
preservation. Under stimulation, patients are shown slides of common objects and asked to
name them. Cortical stimulation can lead to a variety of naming errors. In the present study,
we aggregate errors across patients to examine the neuroanatomical correlates and …
