This is interesting. There's research discussing the relationship between stuttering and impaired glucose utilization in the brain. And GLP-1 is the transporter for glucose to the brain, along with GL...

Would you mind elaborating slightly on stuttering being associated with dopamine? Hadn't heard this theory before and I'm genuinely curious....

It might be genetic, might be related to dopamine. Sadly no one really knows....

The cause of developmental stammering is neurological and it is genetic. I'm afraid doctors don't typically receive any training about stuttering/stammering. Source: I'm a Speech and Language Therapis...

**Stuttering and the “novelty effect”** It is well known and well-documented by research, that novel conditions generally promote a temporary experience of fluency in **PWS (people who stutter)**. So...

The way that I understand it is: The root cause of developmental stuttering lies in genetic and neurological factors, which can negatively impact tonic dopamine levels.. and this then results in a des...

I'll try to explain it more simply. The way that I understand it is: The root cause of developmental stuttering lies in genetic and neurological factors, which can negatively impact tonic dopamine le...

What do you think about this? Can it be helpful?

What do you think about this? Can it be helpful? Hi. I am a 23M stutterer and I’ve been stuttering since I was about 5 years old. I should note that my stuttering generally occurs in the form of block...

Just found this thread. Lots of good info here! I've stuttered since learning to speak and at 34, I'm recognizing signs of possible ADHD. My first thought was that they could be connected. Going to be...

Hey man, you raise a great point. Experimentation and coming up with new ideas are so important. However, there has been a ton of research already and when someones "theories" contradict the research ...

You can't "ignore" everyone, that's how science develops. I wrote to several people here who complained about TMJ, and one of them immediately started howling that "there's no place for stuttering the...

What if we can give our brain a sort of reset? But u have to learn all over again? Learn to speak, but also u have not all memories of the past....

In your opinion, How can operant methods (such as Lidcombe stutter program) be improved? My reply generally would be Lidcombe has excellent outcomes in young children but it becomes gradually less effective with age - so bad outcomes after age 12

You have raised a really important and interesting nuance. On average it appears that the D2 antagonists work, but there are case studies of them exacerbating stuttering in some people. If the d2 anta...

I wouldn't say you're spreading lies and misinformation in any way, shape, or form. You have never made any specific claims or advertised yourself in a manner that you may potentially benefit from. Ho...

In speech therapy we might learn "Acceptance". This can be very effective.. but how does it work exactly in regards to dopamine? I would like to know your thoughts about this. Everyone has their own t...

Here’s how I see it: The root cause of developmental stuttering seems to come from genetic and neurological factors. These factors can mess up our tonic dopamine levels which is like the baseline "fue...

I tend to get too excited about the research.. appreciate your patience! Hereby I invite the community to share their opinions and insights on: *Does anyone have insights on how tonic dopamine and ph...

IYO, What is the role of phasic dopamine vs tonic dopamine in the speech block (i.e., the failure to execute the speech plan)?

IYO, What is the role of phasic dopamine vs tonic dopamine in the speech block (i.e., the failure to execute the speech plan)? As per the title. Refer to the following research studies. Serious respo...

Idk, there’s like neurons in the speech region of our brain that don’t fire on time like they should. There’s some studies over on /r/science if you just search for stutter...
