Abstract:
Speech mapping during awake neurosurgery is used to identify functionally significant speech areas. Despite the widespread use of this method worldwide, there are currently a limited number of intraoperative task batteries for testing various speech subfunctions. This literature review aims to describe the cortical and subcortical representations of speech, present the main tests used to monitor speech functions in patients during awake surgeries and show the specificity of the speech regions of the brain for different types of tasks.
