  "textContent": "When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use \"awake brain mapping\" to minimize the risk of causing unintended disruptions to a patient's quality of life while removing as much tumor as possible. This practice, which has been used for decades, involves waking a patient up mid-surgery to test their neurocognitive functions in real time by stimulating the brain surface and assessing for functional changes.",
