Ample reports highlight fMRI’s added value to guide neurosurgical interventions near brain regions supporting speech and language. However, usefulness for clinical language mapping remains controversial, partly fueled by 1) differences from standard tools it is often compared against, 2) wide heterogeneity in how data are acquired, analyzed interpreted. Both factors limit objective assessment of the benefits efficacy presurgical fMRI. This underscores need standardization fMRI protocols enable pooling across centers facilitate learning patient outcomes. The OHBM Working Group on was formed 2017. Its scope review propose best practice recommendations addressing specific challenges posed applications populations. Objectives were to: consider tasks designs, optimized objectives, incorporating modifications patients with existing impairments; offer practical guidance, based high-quality research, each step acquisition analysis reporting individual patients’ data. In considering these we focus implementations that have proven feasible approaches active use today. When widely available practices deviate optimal practices, emerging developments meriting further evaluation incorporation into use. document created collaboration Committee Best Practices, community feedback.

: Epilepsy disproportionally affects children from Hispanic/Latino backgrounds, particularly among those born outside the U.S. Longstanding health-related disparities associated with ethnicity (e.g. language use) further contribute to gaps in care. Neuropsychologists are beginning outline best practices when working non-English speakers; however, lack of appropriately normed/validated measures for pre-surgical evaluation is a limiting factor. This report informs neuropsychologists by discussing atypical organization speaker using multicultural framework and collaborative therapeutic assessment process.
