Abstract:Background
Task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is an effective method for noninvasively studying brain activity. We aim to find representative brain areas of the swallowing movement and compare the functional connectivity differences in these areas.
Methods
A total of 23 participants were recruited to undergo task-based fMRI scans. Subject-level statistical analysis and group-level activation analysis were conducted using SPM12. Seed-based Functional Connectivity (FC) analyses were conducte… Show more
