pre-print
The importance of the basal ganglia in modulating cognitive and motor behaviors is well known, yet how the basal ganglia participate in the uniquely human behavior of speech is poorly understood. The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is well positioned to facilitate two basal ganglia functions critical for speech: motor learning and gain modulation. Using a novel paradigm to study cortical-subcortical interactions during speech in patients undergoing awake DBS surgery, we found evidence for a left
