Research project funded by NIDCD to study motor cortical circuits involved in speech production and stuttering, aiming to improve understanding and treatment of stuttering.
Description
The project aims to examine morphology and functional connectivity of motor cortical areas relevant to speech control to understand the neural bases of stuttering and identify targets for treatment and intervention. It involves MRI mapping, neuroanatomical studies, and speech production analysis.
