| Research Abstract |
Oral stereognostic ability plays an important role in masticatory function and the previous study has reported that the difference of the texture and size of foods influences on an activity of the visual cortex.This study investigated that the activity of the visual cortex on oral and manual stereognosis ability test. As a consequence, was observed that a significantly activity of the cortex of occipital lobe on oral stereognosis and manual stereognosis. Furthermore, it was revealed that the area where the significant activity was seen was difference and localization of brain function had a difference between oral and manual stereognosis ability.
