    The British object and action naming test for intraoperative mapping (BOATIM) is designed for language mapping in awake craniotomy.

  • 2

    BOATIM provides linguistically and culturally appropriate stimuli for British-English speakers, addressing limitations of existing tests.

  • 3

    The development of BOATIM involved a systematic process, including filtering target words and controlling for psycholinguistic variables.

  • 4

    Pre- and post-operative naming tasks assess patients' eligibility for language mapping and monitor neurocognitive status.

  • 5

    Standardized intraoperative tests like BOATIM are essential for reliable naming performance in neurosurgical evaluations.
