Could this be Parkinson’s? I had a very bad stutter when I was younger, and it has resurfaced now that I’m 23 and out of school. It’s a form of blocking as in I can’t get a lot of words out or certain...

Stuttering and bone marrow transplant?

Stuttering and bone marrow transplant? Has anyone heard of any reports of changes in fluency in PWS after bone marrow transplant? I am curious if brain support cells (like microglia) are involved in ...

I went to happy hour with go workers, some of which I never met. Introductions and small talk can be a challenge, but I got through it....

Go see a doctor, get a head scan. Speech and language changes are often the sign of other things going on since speech requires so many processes working together. It's a bit like having a wrench in a...

from what i know its just the right IFG being overactive, non stutterers will have a active Left IFG instead...

Wow, that's for the very fascinating article. It makes me wonder if there is any kind of benefit to having an overactive IFG. By benefit, I mean if it makes you "better" at something else. ...

NofapGuru, thanks for this post. I know your situation is not as common as other people who stutter. All of our genetic makup is different even as stutterers. However I have the same exact situation a...

But i dont have any other symptoms , what would i tell them? And do you really think CT scan would be necessary after almost 4 years after the incident ? What would doctor search in that ?...

Sounds like you did some damage to your brain from running into the wall! This could have been fatal, obviously, so I'm glad you're mostly okay. Are you in a country where you have access to healthcar...

Neurological component and psychological component

Neurological component and psychological component I do to some extent agree that stuttering has neurological bases. But what if we were only left with neurological component excluding every thing els...

Yes, that's one among many differences between the brains of people who stutter and people who do not. The jury is still out on what in the brain is causing stuttering. It's too early to hone in on on...

Yes it's commoner in men than in women. Consciousness arises from the physical and chemical architecture of the brain, so the distinction between "physical" and "psychological" causes is not necessa...

But new research indicates that in stutterers , there is a decreased blood flow in the brain 🧠 part called broca area in the left frontal lobe. Blood flow refers to the amount of neural activity. The...

In both cases the speaker knows what word they're trying to say and both have difficulty getting the word out. But that's really where the similarities end. People who stutter eventually get the wor...
