FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medicine, specifically to methods of brain mapping. Method of cerebral mapping according to first embodiment involves applying a flexible polymer mesh on exposed brain area and determining the projection on the mesh of the functional centres by stimulating or recording the activity of the brain regions through the respective mesh cells. According to the second embodiment of the method, the cells above the centre are excised and the lesion is resected through the produced opening; the mesh remains in place until completion of the resection.EFFECT: use of inventions makes it possible to increase efficiency of cerebral mapping.5 cl, 3 dwg
