Jaw-phonatory coordination in chronic developmental stuttering

Journal of Communication Disorders, 2007
A deficiency in sensorimotor integration in a person who stutters may be a factor in the pathophysiology of developmental stuttering. To test oral sensorimotor function in adults who stutter, we used a task that requires the coordination of a jaw-opening movement with phonation onset.

Features Resembling Tourette's Syndrome in Developmental Stutterers

Brain and Language, 1998
Developmental stuttering (DS) may be related to the extrapyramidal motor system and shares many clinical similarities with Tourette's syndrome (TS), which is widely believed to be associated with extrapyramidal dysfunction. Twenty-two stutterers were examined for neuropsychiatric features commonly seen in TS, including tics, obsessive-compulsive ...

Brain imaging studies of developmental stuttering

Journal of Communication Disorders, 2001
This paper reviews recent brain imaging research on stuttering against a background of studies that the writer and colleagues have been conducting at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. The paper begins by reviewing some pertinent background to recent neuroimaging investigations of developmental stuttering.

Developmental stuttering: Manifestations, treatment and dental implications

Special Care in Dentistry, 2004
ABSTRACTDevelopmental stuttering (DS) is a disturbance in the normal fluency and time patterning of speech resulting in involuntary repetition, prolongation, or cessation of sound. The scientific literature has implicated the lack of strong left cerebral dominance and abnormal levels of the neurotranemitters dopamine and possibly serotonin in regions ...

A neurocomputational view of developmental stuttering

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021
An estimated 5% of children go through a period of stuttering around 3–5 years of age, with stuttering persisting into adulthood in approximately 20% of these children. Research into the neural underpinnings of stuttering have identified a number of structural and functional anomalies in various components of the left hemisphere cortico-basal ganglia ...

fMRI of developmental stuttering: A pilot study

Brain and Language, 2003
The purpose of this investigation was to explore the feasibility of fMRI in the study of developmental stuttering. Speech contrasts (loud versus silent reading) and language contrasts (reading of semantically meaningful text versus nonsense words) of six developmental stutterers and six nonstutterers were compared using a commercial 1 Tesla MR-Scanner (

Developmental stuttering in adults

Ugeskrift for Læger
Developmental stuttering is characterized by early childhood onset with repetition of syllables, prolongations, and blockades as well as secondary behavioural abnormalities. Early therapy is important while there is no approved pharmacological approach.

Investigating the Efficacy of Paroxetine in Developmental Stuttering

Clinical Neuropharmacology, 2009
Paroxetine has been reported to be useful for management of stuttering symptoms, but only a few reports have examined its effects. We have investigated the efficacy of paroxetine in a randomized, placebo-controlled study.Five stuttering subjects received paroxetine at 20 mg once daily at night for 12 weeks, and 5 received placebo.

Revisiting the acquired neurogenic stuttering in the light of developmental stuttering

Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2011
Abstract The neural underpinnings of acquired neurogenic stuttering (ANS) remain largely speculative owing to the multitude of etiologies and cerebral substrates implicated with this fluency disorder. Systematic investigations of ANS under various fluency-enhancing conditions have begun only in the recent past and these studies are indicative of the ...

[Developmental stuttering and acquired stuttering: resemblances and differences].

Revista de neurologia, 2005
In this study the authors analyse, clinically, dysphemia (DP) and acquired stuttering (AS). AIMS. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether AS is a variant of DP or whether it is an entity that shares a common element: stuttered speech.The authors studied 13 patients with AS and 36 with DP.
