Description
Functional MRI for Speech is a specialized application of fMRI technology focusing on mapping brain regions involved in speech and language processing. This technique is particularly valuable for neurosurgical planning in patients with brain tumors or epilepsy near language areas. During the scan, patients perform various language tasks, allowing researchers to identify critical areas for speech production and comprehension. This information helps surgeons minimize the risk of post-operative language deficits. Beyond surgical applications, this technique is also used in research to study language disorders, stroke recovery, and the development of language skills in children. It provides unique insights into how the brain processes and produces speech.
