Research project focused on understanding neural mechanisms of speech motor control and stuttering to improve treatment outcomes by studying motor cortical circuits and their connectivity.
Description
This study investigates the structure and function of speech-relevant integrative motor regions to characterize brain-behavior linkages in stuttering, aiming to develop targeted treatments by examining morphology and functional connectivity of these areas during speech tasks.
