hour, kieran trippier and jo gomez, more for you on that bbc news throughout the evening. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. bye for now. one of the biggest challenges of brain surgery is working out how much of a tumour can be removed from a patient without damaging their speech, movement or other brain functions. now, scientists at the university of cambridge are developing a ground—breaking device that will map a patient‘s brain and act like a sat nav for surgeons, showing them what each part of the brain does. our science correspondent, richard westcott, has this report on the new technology —— and a warning: it includes pictures of the surgery taking place. a few months ago, totally out the blue, ben rush had a seizure in bed. i'm going to dim the lights for this one now.

they found a large tumour — clearly visible on this scan. incredibly, it may have been growing for a decade without him knowing and he's only 29. a few months later, surgeon thomas santarius is removing it. while ben is still awake. ok, take a break a little bit. we were even allowed to talk to him. hi richard. i know these are very strange circumstances. it is richard, i've got it right. i'm still working. you have been doing amazingly well and you've still kept your sense of humour. yeah, yeah. i try to. using an electric current, thomas can switch sections of the brain off. listen to this. can you count for me again? one, two, three, four. the fact that ben stops counting means it's a part affecting speech, so thomas won't remove it. we'll start now. but it's not the awake part that makes this operation special. a1, b2, c3.

yaara erez isn't a doctor, she's a neuroscientist. this test is hard enough when you're not in the middle of surgery, you try doing it. by forcing ben's brain to multitask, scientists are creating a much more detailed map of its functions for a new device that will eventually help surgeons decide what to take out and what to leave behind. that is interesting. away from theatre, thomas tries a prototype of the device. it will eventually be used during surgery, helping them navigate what each part of the brain does, so they can fit your treatment to your work. in one patient has a physicaljob and what they mostly want is to be able to move and work, we can tailor the test for that. if another patient has mostly office work and they plan big project, then we can tailor the test and treatment for that. a few weeks on, and ben's
