Abstract
The article gives a summary overview of the most important studies of stuttering by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in the last 20 years. This review also highlights problems in the literature in terms of methodology and research areas. It presented an integrated approach and technique fMRI studies aimed at both the primary diagnosis of stuttering and stammering on the dynamics of the mechanisms in the treatment process.
1. Introduction
Stuttering is a wide variety of symptoms, including spasmodic delays, impaired tempo and rhythm of speech, logophobia, obsessive thoughts, adaptive tricks, etc. This disorder affects millions of people around the world [1].
Over the past two decades, interest in neurophysiological studies of nervous system disorders has continued to increase. Given known limitations, fMRI is one of the leading methods for mapping of functional areas and brain neural networks due to its non-invasiveness and good spatial resolution.
