We plan to untilise brain imaging techniques to examine the neurological underpinnings of stuttering. We aim to develop new tools for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the patterns of brain activation in the motor, speech and language areas, specifically for use in children who stutter. We aim to answer the question of whether stuttering is a motor-speech or a language disorder and to establish whether variations in the speech and language regions of the brain found in adult stuttering research are also present in children who stutter, and to explore the possibility that different variations in brain activation and/or morphology may predict persistence and recovery.

我们计划利用脑成像技术来检查口吃的神经基础。 我们的目标是开发功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）的新工具，以检查运动，言语和语言区域的大脑激活模式，特别是用于口吃儿童。我们的目标是回答这个问题，是否口吃是一个电机语音或语言障碍，并建立是否在成人口吃研究中发现的语音和语言区域的变化也存在于口吃的儿童，并探讨大脑激活和/或形态的不同变化可能预测的持久性和恢复。
