In hindsight I should’ve gone to the doctor as soon as it happened, but it was a year ago and the only effects I’ve noticed are stuttering, reading difficulties, and slightly worse depth perception. I...

You should definitely go to a doctor if you started stuttering after a head injury. Like ASAP. You don't want to wait on a head injuries. You shouldn't be stuttering after a mild hit to the head....

There isn't a specific reason for it. Different stutterers struggle with different sounds. No one is really sure why. The actual root cause of suttering hasn't even been discovered with 100% certainty...

Note that this is a republication of another article, where the images are more relevant, I'd say: https://knowablemagazine.org/article/mind/2020/new-neuroscience-stuttering...

I think most evidence suggests that it's related to dopamine receptor and brain chemistry. Beyond it not being related to like vocal muscles, not much else is known....

Why do we stutter

Why do we stutter I've always been asking that question about whether stuttering is related to an organic disorder or not and I just found this article So, How far is it correct? https://www.bbc.com...

It's not really understood that well, but the most in depth explanation I've read has to do with overactive dopamine receptors. That or brain connections between the two hemispheres that are "wired" ...

What I’ve read very early on was that there is a lack of blood flow in a part of the brain - the Broca’s area (very similar to trauma victims) - that is different than normal people. On top of that, t...

neurologist is the right professional to get a diagnosis. It could be a brain stroke for instance which i've heard that can cause repentine disfluency but if you say that you can read out loud and spe...

There seems to be some sort of theoretical component to what you're saying in this video. Please elaborate. • What's this about "authentic self"? • Where's this notion of the P's coming from? • Did...

That is really where I am at right now. My first experience with intensive therapy made me believe that speech therapy/fluency skills was the key and all I need to achieve fluency. That isn’t the case...

That’s why I started with “I wonder if..” I’m very aware that it’s just a correlation. We also still don’t know if stuttering causes the changes in blood flow or vise versa. We still don’t understand ...

OK, but please be cautious with what you're making of this *correlation*. Two conditions show decreased activation of Broca's, but that doesn't mean that one led to the other. There is also evidence o...

It’s a theory but I stutter when I’m alone, not as much, but I still do. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact cause because stuttering can vary from person to person. Although, I definitely believe ...

Relationship between trauma, stuttering, and the Broca’s area

Relationship between trauma, stuttering, and the Broca’s area Studies have found that: 1. Stuttering is associated with reduced blood flow to the Broca’s area (speech center of the brain) 2. Trauma is...

i think it has to do with adhd but i’m not 100% sure. also no i’ve never been to one but i don’t think my parents will take me to one since i already asked them...

I was 4 when my stutter started, and was 8 when my parents helped me with the “passive air flow” technique. It’s basically just relearning how to speak “normally”. But we as stutterers have many layer...

That would be great if practice alone could fix a neurological disorder. Or if you have access to SLPs that can help....

Hey, thanks for answering my previous question(s). I also have one more. ​ Is there any explanation of why there is such a huge gender difference in those who experience stuttering? And a...

I'll let Dr. Yaruss answer the first half of your question (I hadn't seen that paper), but will respond to the second half. There's strong evidence that stuttering is a neurodevelopment disorder. It c...
