Register for Longitudinal Recording of Brain Function

The aim of this observational register study is to establish a registry that completely records and compiles the data from routinely performed technical examinations (navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation, intraoperative neuromonitoring and stimulation, MRI imaging including tractography and connectome) and clinical tests over time (pre-, intra- and postoperative, under adjuvant therapy, as part of follow-up care) of patients with intracranial masses and lesions.
