This study reports the findings of that poll.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>The survey consisted of six questions. Two questions addressed: (1) If a W<\/jats:styled-content>ada test was always necessary for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy; and (2) if magnetoencephalography (MEG<\/jats:styled-content>) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI<\/jats:styled-content>) data could replace intracranial electrodes in localizing cortical motor\u2010sensory and language functions. Four questions addressed the type of medical personnel, geographic region of residence based on International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE<\/jats:styled-content>) regions, if responders had read the paper, and if they were ILAE<\/jats:styled-content>\/International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE<\/jats:styled-content>) members.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Of 115 that started the survey, 92 (80%) completed it, and most were epilepsy specialists (87%) from N<\/jats:styled-content>orth A<\/jats:styled-content>merica (49%) and E<\/jats:styled-content>urope (28%). Of responders, 85% indicated that W<\/jats:styled-content>ada tests were unnecessary for temporal lobe epilepsy surgery patients. There were differences based on residency, with 100% of those from E<\/jats:styled-content>urope indicating that the W<\/jats:styled-content>ada test was unnecessary compared with 75% of those from N<\/jats:styled-content>orth A<\/jats:styled-content>merica (p\u00a0=\u00a00.01). Of responders, 56% indicated that intracranial electrodes were necessary to localize functional cortex.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Significance<\/jats:title>This survey found that the majority considered the W<\/jats:styled-content>ada test unnecessary for temporal lobe epilepsy surgery patients, with more of those from E<\/jats:styled-content>urope saying it is not needed compared with N<\/jats:styled-content>orth A<\/jats:styled-content>merica. In addition, just over half indicated that intracranial electrodes are still needed to localize motor\u2010sensory and language functions. These findings, although based on opinions, support that there are divergent views on the use of these procedures in epilepsy surgery patients that require additional study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.12815","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,30]],"date-time":"2014-10-30T17:48:02Z","timestamp":1414691282000},"page":"1887-1889","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["From the Editors: Epilepsia's<\/i> survey on the necessity of the W<\/scp>ada test and intracranial electrodes for cortical mapping"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Gary W.","family":"Mathern","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and Psychiatry & BioBehavioral Medicine David Geffen School of Medicine The Mattel Children's Hospital University of California Los Angeles California U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laurie","family":"Beninsig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epilepsia Hospital Necker Paris France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Astrid","family":"Nehlig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U 1129 Hospital Necker Paris France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.12569"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.12553"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.12590"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.12812"}],"container-title":["Epilepsia"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fepi.12815","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/epi.12815","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]],"date-time":"2023-10-03T02:46:26Z","timestamp":1696301186000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/epi.12815"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,30]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/epi.12815"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/epi.12815","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0013-9580","1528-1167"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0013-9580","type":"print"},{"value":"1528-1167","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,30]]}}}
