In order to make sure she retained important functions like speech and memory, doctors wanted the 60-year-old to perform a "familiar activity" while they removed a brain tumor from her left temporal lobe. neurosurgeon Roberto Trignani, told the Italian news agency Ansa, "For her, we needed rapid hand movements. [It> allows us to monitor the patient while we work on their brain functions and to calibrate our action."
