Now, as a medical student who stutters, first of all I want to say that this is really a nice post, I appreciate it. Secondly, I think that the main problem with stuttering research is that there ar...

Neuroanatomical attributes in stuttering - discussion and clinical intervention Can basal ganglia cause stuttering? **Answer**: Stuttering may be caused by dysfunction in the basal ganglia, the left ...

Generally speaking, stuttering is neurogenic. In other words, there is both a neurological component (motor control of speech parts) and a genetic component that contribute to stuttering. In order for...

Everything is "neuropasticity" by that way of thinking. But yes, stuttering can be left behind with practice and hard work....

Yes definitely has a genetic component to it. My dad stutters, his brothers, and his mom. Researchers have also identified the stuttering gene. They found it in song birds well (From a Huberman podcas...

Stuttering and neuroplasticity

Stuttering and neuroplasticity What are your thoughts regarding the notion that through enough practice we can rewire our brain and program it not to stutter? Considering we have the physical ability ...

It seems to run in some families, I’m the only one I’m related to has it. So much we don’t understand about the brain. 🤷‍♂️...

In my opinion: Neurological factors - in developmental stuttering - refer to the structure and function of the brain areas involved in speech production, motor control, and language processing. Env...

I have a theory so I’m bilingual and so my theory is that since they didn’t properly teach me two languages and my little 5 year brain didn’t know how to separate the sounds from English and Spanish t...

I don’t know much about brain tumors but I do know that stuttering at 2.5 is a common age for a developmental stutter to occur, and there’s a genetic component to stuttering so if his brother was stut...

You stutter is a neurological condition… you can’t avoid that. What we do know is that mental health can impact the frequency and severity significantly. It can make growing beyond the stutter impossi...

Hey! I'm a speech therapist and I stutter too. I can try to shed some light on this, but the research is still ongoing. I'll give you the simple explanation and the more science-y one: People who stu...

just some ranting

just some ranting **In my opinion:** We know that stuttering is neurological. In my opinion, these actions lead to neurological overactivation on brain scans: * immersing in being stuck and not ab...

Interesting. If stuttering is due neurological/brain damage indeed, it seems strange to me that while having a manic-episode the brain restore itself so it can speak without blocking. Here I found a ...

Yes I just started taking ADHD meds and I have noticed my stutter is worse. But being able to focus on task > stuttering less. The amount of talking I do has NOT changed at all. My psychiatrist al...
