I would not at all be surprised if stutterers have a genetic mutation that either increases the amount of energy that neurons expend or a specific issue with thiamine transporters. This mutation may b...

Yeah, maybe I'm being dismissive. Proprioception is fascinating though, and one of the topics that got me started. I was disheartened by a few studies on proprioceptive feedback of the tongue where th...

No amount of classes and confidence building cures a neurological stutter. I'm glad this helped you, do not act like this is a universal cure....

Yea I'm interested. I'll check out your hypothesis for sure. As for what you were saying about the cerebellum, truthfully, I'm not too sure about that you said. Because I have seen cases where patie...

I never said there's nothing genetic stutterers can do/ gave complete responsibility to genetics... my first sentence literally says I think learned behaviours enhance stuttering! Epigenetic modific...

I don't think completely giving responsibility to genetics is beneficial either tho. I'm most probably one of those neurological stutterers and I don't think it is true to claim that 'if your stutter ...

I still don't believe the ultimate cause to be neurological. There's a physiological factor that somehow contributes to the neurological through our own behavior. Whether that is and what it could be ...

The cerebellum is weird. It's the only part of the brain functionally unconscious. It relays information to higher-order areas of the brain that constitute our consciousness, but none of these area tr...

Right you're correct. The cerebellum was only mentioned as it relates brains scans taken from people who spontaneously recovered. But I think it gives us an indication on what brain region needed to b...

Well, if we leave our egos at the door for a moment. I can see that you are far more learned on the subject than me, and I commend you for that. I was wrong to get annoyed - I just assumed you wer...

The naming convention is meaningless to you and meaningless to me, as I literally said in the closing paragraph of a comment you replied to: "The types are simply used to describe the manner in which ...

I have not edited any comment to make you look bad, I have just edited my misspellings and tried to add more context. I am sorry if that is what you have perceived, it just irks me when people treat t...

The entire thread is literally about semantics. No one is discussing absolutes. We are discussing a naming system and types determined by consensus. You read way deeply into it and went completely of...

If there is a fundamental difference in the brains of certain people who stammer, would that not be genetic in origin. I am not going to argue about semantics....

Genetic in origin is not a thing, unless you've made some groundbreaking discovery proving otherwise. There is genetic predisposition, but that doesn't play into differentiation between types....

Being born with it is not a suitable description. Newborns can't speak and so they can't stutter. Stuttering may manifest as a child is learning language and speech, and that's developmental stutterin...

I was talking about Hollins. My bad. Rushed a bit there. I liked Dr. Christian. He mentioned the cerebellum in spontaneous recovery of stuttering though, not in regard to the fluency shaping program. ...

masturbation is not the cause of your stutter nor is it exacerbating it. if you truly do suspect a neurochemical imbalance, we encourage you to seek professional medical advice. posting personal anecd...

Oh that actually makes more sense now, thanks for the clarification, so neurogenic could mean you’re born with it ?...

Haven't heard of whom? If your taking about Dr. Christian, it's just the guy who's been interviewed in the video I linked about research on stuttering. If your talking about Hollins, then it's not per...
