General aim of neurosurgical practice is to both anatomically and physiologically preserve functional neurological structures to ensure higher quality of life. Intraoperative neuromonitorization (IONM) helps the neurosurgeon to physiologically identify and assess the functional integrity of said neurological structures. Uses of IONM in neurosurgery practice is categorized into three areas as; brain (supratentorial and infratentorial), brain stem and spinal. For every anatomical region and surgical procedure, characteristic differences in electrophysiological methods exist for both recording and interpretation. In this first of three-part paper, electrophysiological methods used in supratentorial surgeries for tumor, vascular and epilepsy pathologies and their key points will be reviewed in detail. In the second part, uses in infratentorial and brain stem surgeries; in the third part, uses in spinal surgery will be detailed.
