Edwards E, Soltani M, Kim W, Dalal SS, Nagarajan SS, Berger MS, Knight RT. Comparison of time-frequency responses and the event-related potential to auditory speech stimuli in human cortex. J Neurophysiol 102: 377-386, 2009. First published May 13, 2009; doi:10.1152/jn.90954.2008. We recorded the electrocorticogram directly from the exposed cortical surface of awake neurosurgical patients during the presentation of auditory syllable stimuli. All patients were unanesthetized as part of a language-mapping procedure for subsequent left-hemisphere tumor resection. Time-frequency analyses showed significant high-gamma (gamma(high): 70-160 Hz) responses from the left superior temporal gyrus, but no reliable response from the left inferior frontal gyrus. Alpha suppression (alpha: 7-14 Hz) and event-related potential responses exhibited a more widespread topography. Across electrodes, the alpha suppression from 200 to 450 ms correlated with the preceding (50-200 ms) gamma(high) increase. The results are discussed in terms of the different physiological origins of these electrocortical signals.
