Speech Motor Function and Auditory Perception in Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency: Toward Pre–Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) and SMA-Proper Dysfunctions
This study reviews the fundamental roles of pre–supplementary motor area (SMA) and SMA-proper responsible for speech-motor functions and auditory perception in succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency. We comprehensively searched the databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, and the electronic journals Springer, PreQuest, and Science Direct associated with keywords SSADHD, SMA, auditory perception, speech, and motor with AND operator. Transcranial magnetic stimulation emerged for assessing excitability/inhibitory M1 functions, but its role in pre-SMA and SMA proper dysfunction remains unknown. There was a lack of data on resting-state and task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with a focus on passive and active tasks for both speech and music, in terms of analysis of SMA-related cortex and its connections. Children with SSADH deficiency likely experience a dysfunction in connectivity between SMA portions with cortical and subcortical areas contributing to disabilities in speech-motor functions and auditory perception. Early diagnosis of auditory-motor disabilities in children with SSADH deficiency by neuroimaging techniques invites opportunities for utilizing sensory-motor integration as future interventional strategies.
