It’s partly because the root cause is emotional, stemming from childhood. Since our brain is so moldeable in childhood, once we learned to stutter it just stuck until adulthood. Overcoming stuttering ...

in terms of neurological stuff, the 4:1 ratio of men to women in terms of stuttering has always been interesting to me. I believe a similar ratio exists with tourettes, which has similar neurological ...

There's definitely a genetic component. Genes have been identified (check out research from Dennis Drayna). But it doesn't follow a "typical Mendelian inheritance pattern". Meaning, in short, it's pos...

Yeah I experience this too. I guess it would count as talking "at someone/something". My armchair theory has been that, like singing, talking "at someone" uses slightly different parts of the brain th...

That is because we use our right hemisphere of our brain to compensate for the faulty left side. The right side also deals with emotions so it can handle speech when you are alone OK but it overloads ...

Agree. I spent 2.5 hours each way to go sit in a room with bad wifi. At least they bought me breakfast and lunch. Even if you do not get a placebo, it will only help a subset of PWS. Not everyone has ...

I have read most of those papers, I have even had 2mri scans myself and contributed to 2 papers as a test subject. From what I have read, there is no common anomaly. There are differences, but these c...

Just enter the keywords "stuttering" and "brain" in Google Scholar....

Lots of neuroimaging studies suggest that it's more than "learnt pattern", though. Science is not about what we want to "believe"....

> What science? Please reference it, there is no study detailing the cause of stuttering. yeah, that's exactly what I mean. there's no known cause so your claim is unsupported they do not in the...

What science? Please reference it, there is no study detailing the cause of stuttering. Yes fluent people do block and prolong words, they just brush over it though unlike us who hold onto it and can...

That's nice and all, but completely irrelevant because the science does not necessarily agree (still needs a lot of research, but I know that a random reddit commenter doesn't have a succinct explanat...

İ think You confuse the “resullt” with the “reason”. Stuttering is a disorder that starts in early childhood and with actual differences in nervous structure in brain. While it is possible to control ...

When i am very emotional, crying, empathizing heavily with someone, or panicked i usually have totally clear speech. It’s perplexing. My best guess is that the amygdala part of your brain is engaged (...

Not stuttering/stuttering less when you're alone is a pretty common experience with people who stutter, I personally still stutter sometimes even when I'm talking to myself. There's been pretty strong...

Are you sure your teacher is aware that you have a neurological disability that you can’t control rather than just being hesitant to speak?...

Many 3 year olds have repetitions cause that’s how people normally learn to talk. This is well known, it’s why people don’t advise taking your child to a speech pathologist until they are 3.5 and have...

I don't think they even know if the neurological disorders of stuttering are what cause stuttering or if it was stuttering that caused these disturbances in our brain....

So as someone who had a lot of blocks and a severe stutter as a kid, none of this has to do with my experience. It suggests blocking is a learned behavior, yet I started blocking before repeating. So ...

It’s a neurological disorder. Scientists don’t even know for sure why people stutter. To claim that you have the 100% cure for all stutterers is asinine to be honest with you. Unless you’re a neurolog...
