Developmental stuttering (DS) is a motor/speech disorder, characterized by specific alterations in the functioning of brain circuits. Non-invasive brain stimulation may be useful to shape the altered functioning and connectivity of these systems. As a consequence, this project aims to expand the neurophysiological understanding of DS, evaluating effects of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) on speech fluency and brain functioning of adults with persistent DS. This project will provide high-impact insights into the functioning of DS neural system, also proposing innovative and/or personalized rehabilitation.
