The way second language acquisition alters the ways our brains retrieve the proper word is endlessly fascinating. I studied linguistics a bit in college, and while I'm by no means well-versed in the t...

I speak four languages, however I grew up being monolingual. I would say it might be helpful to differentiate the time frame here. Such as, in the language acquisition stage of brain development, roug...

I’m on the autistic spectrum and can say I definitely believe there is a connection to stuttering. We often have a difficult time with emotional processing, as well as being more sensitive. As wel...

I found something that may be of interest. Researchers try to make a correlation between stuttering and learning multiple languages. Quoted by Yairi & Ambrose (PhD researchers) in the book Clinic...

Definitely do! Happy to help if I can. It's totally up to you about the MRI -- and you don't even have to decide today whether or not you want to do it. I'd just weigh the pros and cons, like: Pr...

Assuming you're someone who has stuttered since childhood: the cause of developmental stuttering is still unknown and under research. There is thought to be a genetic and a neurologic component. That ...

I've had many, no big deal but didn't show any pathology related to stuttering. It did show a small benign acoustic neuroma which had to be removed. They were looking for the cause of migraines. The a...

I have stuttered since childhood. My neurologist said that as I don't remember ever getting a brain MRI, doing one wouldn't harm. But he also said that they usually don't show anything abnormal in cas...

It seems that the theme of what causes blocks is a pretty common theme. Kind of a self perpetuating cycle of fear/panic leading to block or stutters which leads to more fear of blocks and stutters and...

Do you know of anything that would show up on a brain scan that could cause a stutter, or at least make it worse? And does it matter where I’m the brain the problem is?...

Had an MRI for unrelated medical issue. Asked about the stutter asked about speech center they were like 'we don't care nothing remarkable there you're fine!' they said the small differences from pers...

I have searched a little bit on PubMed , research show low ATP production in the speech area , less blood flow. That's why cardio and strength training work. Also what therapy have you tried? Benfo...

I did right about six years ago when I turned 30; my doctor at the time was curious. They didn’t see anything abnormal....

I don't think he explained what he was looking for very thoroughly... He just told me, while pointing a little above his temporal, that he would look for anything out of the ordinary at the language p...

No, but I'm a biomedical engineer who has done a lot of work with CT/MRI. Just looking at a brain with MRI to see if it's "okay" is very odd (and may or may not be covered by insurance), but I assume ...

I had once an MRI with contrast agents because I had [GBS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain%E2%80%93Barr%C3%A9_syndrome) but they didn't know it yet so they checked my brain first. I asked if t...

Did any of you guys get an MRI?

Did any of you guys get an MRI? Hi, this is my first post here... I wanted to know your experiences with this issue. I'm 30 years old and I'm not fluent at all, specially when I'm anxious. I recently ...

Stuttering is caused by a neurological defect where the brain improperly processes its own speech. When we do not hear our own speech we stutter less. That is why we stutter less when we whisper, si...

Stuttering is a neurological problem where the person hearing his own speech interacts improperly with the brain mechanism causing us to stutter. When we do not hear our own speech we stutter less. T...
