Gunther's Computer Model of Stuttering

The basil ganglia structures beneath the brain cerebral cortex, play a critical role in initiating a variety of motor ities. Gunther says he'd like to combine his model with imaging studies that show the basil ganglia in action to see whether his predicted mechanisms play a role in people who stutter. The ultimate goal is to come up with precisely targeted treatments, like drugs that weak the activity of the basil Ganglia without inducing serious side effects or possibly even implanted electrodes That should make your basil ganglia as good as that for scientific americans, 60 second science.
