Tammam Abboud is an associate Professor of neurosurgery at university medical center Göttingen. He received

training in neurosurgery at the university medical center Hamburg-Eppendorf, where he established intraoperative neurophysiology.

His research fields include neuro-oncology and neurophysiology. His works focused on interoperative monitoring, especially on

motor evoked potentials during surgery for brain tumors. His research group at the University Medical Center Göttingen is currently

exploring a new protocol for preoperative language mapping in patients with brain tumors.

We introduce a new protocol for preoperative speech mapping in patients with brain tumors. The condition and perturb

approach include offline and online TMS and aims to improve sensitivity and specificity of preoperative language mapping. This

approach has been tested in a prospective manner and first results are presented in a small case series.
