Sörös P, Lalone E, Smith R, Stevens T, Theurer J, Menon R, Martin R. Functional MRI of oropharyngeal air-pulse stimulation. Neuroscience 2008, 153: 1300-1308. PubMed | PDF

Background: Although the posterior oral cavity and oropharynx play a major role in swallowing, their central representation is poorly understood.
Methods: High-field functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain [...]

Sörös P, Marmurek J, Tam F, Baker N, Staines WR, Graham SJ. Functional MRI of working memory and selective attention in vibrotactile frequency discrimination. BMC Neuroscience 2007, 8:48. PubMed Abstract Reprint

Background. To characterise the neural correlates of intact vibrotactile working memory and attention, we conducted functional MRI in 12 healthy young adults. Participants [...]

Functional imaging of speech production

This is a presentation I gave at the Ontario Aphasia Interest Group Teleconference in December 2006. It summarizes the findings of my fMRI study on speech production in healthy younger adults (Neuroimage 2006;32(1):376-387). The presentation is available as Flash web presentation or as a pdf (6 MB).
