It probably has to do with dopamine but I don’t understand it. Either our dopamine system is too hyperactive or too hypoactive. Maybe for persons who stutter, their brains just can’t find the right ba...

Well, quite frankly, no one is for sure what the cause is. The best explanation I heard was that some people think that its caused by signals in certain parts of the brain getting tangled with each ot...

We also still don’t even know exactly why it occurs. We can’t cure something when we don’t know the cause....

That's good! Yeah there could be some brain to mouth to wiring issue at play too. Can't say for sure, it is something that is talked about a lot in the stuttering community. Is he as talkative and co...

It's probably due to developmental issues that never work themselves out. Researchers like to research child stuttering, but adult and teen stuttering is ignored quite a bit....

The brain is too complex to be entirely understood, even in 2020. This person is just making up research at this point. The brain is very flexible and complex, which causes problems and diseases to be...

I am not sure if stuttering comes From anxiety/shyness - I think it CAN be, but observing my 9 year old kid who stutters, I don’t think always. He is a super-confident chatterbox who barely notices th...

So I've been reading a lot of scientific articles about the developmental aspects of stuttering. 5% of children experience a period of stuttering, 80% of those children make a full recovery and never ...

Stutter is not in your "mouth", leave me this expression but in the block that you feel in mind before speak. As you has experienced if you stutter you know that you know before speak that cannot say ...

DAE thinks that sometimes brain doesn’t send signal to vocal chords or to produce sound and it’s more then just physically for us, thoughts?

It means that stutter impacts the communication via speech you have with people. I'm not sure we'd label that "psychological", inasmuch as it's a rather involved affair to enter into that sort of rela...

I still stutter when talking to myself. I know others who do as well. The root is motor-neuro. Psychology is simply a large influencing factor, but it's not a source....

While there is still no finite answer to what neurological anomaly causes a stutter, there have been some studies with both deep brain stimulation and non invasive magnetic brain stimulation with posi...

As someone who has done a fair bit of research but nothing terribly academic I can say there is a shocking void of information regarding why a stutter occurs and anything resembling a cure besides fre...

Sure, PWS have less grey matter in a part of the brain called the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). The amount of size-reduction correlates with severity of stutter *to a degree*. We also have differ...

Very interesting. It will be nice to create some group of scientists stutters to share knowledge from our point of you. I'm psychology graduated recently in neuroscience from Italy. Can't wait to read...

That's awesome. Here's the [mind-blowing study](https://academic.oup.com/brain/article/132/10/2747/330765) that sent me down the rabbit hole. It blows my mind that stutterers and SLP's don't know anyt...

Yes. I've been doing a lot of research into the neuroscience of stuttering, reading a lot of articles, and our brains are different than non-stutterers. We think of stuttering as *the disorder* becaus...

Honestly, I posted this seeking if this is attributed to how stuttering affects my brain. I have no idea if it is. I've always had a hard time making and keeping friends. Some of the things that I sa...

While there's still not a clear answer as to what role the brain plays in stuttering, having a stutter definitely effects you, psychologically. Does your stutter effect your social life? Perhaps you'v...
