Normal interhemispheric inhibition in persistent developmental stuttering
Movement Disorders, 2009 AbstractImaging studies suggest a right hemispheric (pre)motor overactivity in patients with persistent developmental stuttering (PDS). The interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) studied with transcranial magnetic stimulation is an established measure of the interplay between right and left motor areas.
