Highlights • Brain reorganization can take place before and after surgery of low- and high-grade gliomas.• Plasticity is observed for low-grade but also for high-grade gliomas.• The contralesional hemisphere can be vital for successful compensation.• There is evidence of plasticity for both the language system and the sensorimotor system.• Partial compensation can also occur at the white-matter level.• Subcortical connectivity is crucial for brain reorganization.
