Optimizing speech motor learning with neuromodulation: Behavioral outcomes and neural mechanisms
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the United States, frequently leading to speech impairment that creates barriers to participation in professional, social, and family settings. While recovery can be promoted with speech motor learning treatment, residual disability remains a prominent issue. The long-term goal of this research is to enhance intervention outcomes for individuals with acquired speech impairment by combining theoretically-guided behavioral intervention with targeted neuromodulation. The main objectives of this proposal are to verify the role of left ventral premotor and motor cortices in speech motor learning and to establish that…
