Multiple techniques are vying for establishing the new gold standard for functional cortical mapping, displacing that of the currently invasive and risk-prone techniques of subdural electrode arrays and intraoperative electrical stimulation mapping. Transcranial magnetic stimulation holds promise for functional localization of primary motor areas and speech areas, and possibly even other higher cortical functions. The technique is economical, especially when compared with the cost of functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography. It can be performed effectively and safely in patients with epilepsy.
多种技术正在竞相建立功能皮质映射的新金标准，以取代目前具有侵入性且有风险的硬膜下电极阵列和术中电刺激映射技术。经颅磁刺激有望用于初级运动区和言语区的功能定位，甚至可能用于其他更高层次的皮质功能。该技术成本较低，尤其是与功能磁共振成像和正电子发射断层扫描的成本相比。它可以在癫痫患者中有效且安全地进行。
