| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The overall goal of this study was undertaken to demonstrate the importance of the versatile evaluation of articulatory function in cleft lip and palate (CLP) from central and peripheral perspectives, using fMRI and MRI movie technique.
Following results were obtained; the peripheral movements of the articulators and cortical activation were similar in brain activation pattern between subjects with and without CLP, however the activation patterns for articulation was different between subjects with CLP with compensatory misarticulation, however is not related with the presence or type of CLP.
