Demonstrate brain perfusion changes due to neuronal activation after functional electrical stimulation (FES). ⋯ FES therapy can result in brain perfusion improvement in patients with brain lesions due to cranial trauma but probably not in patients with major vascular insults with large infarct area.

The relationship between brain tumors and cognitive deficits is well established in the literature. However, studies investigating the cognitive status in low and high-grade gliomas patients are scarce, particularly in patients with average or lower educational level. This study aimed at investigating the cognitive functioning in a sample of patients with low and high-grade gliomas before surgical intervention. ⋯ These findings demonstrated different levels of impairments in the executive and memory domains in patients with low and high grade gliomas.
