A novel MRI-based ‘aging’ clock may offer a simple way to identify patients whose biological age is outpacing their ...
Stuttering is a neurological condition, not a psychological one, and scientists in Finland now believe they've found the disrupted network in the brain that may cause it.
Disruptions to a single network in the brain may be responsible for stuttering, new research suggests.
Another portion of the brain that may be tied to stuttering includes the basal ganglia which plays a critical role in motor learning, behavior, and emotion. Their findings will help speech-language ...
In addition to people who had suffered a stroke, the researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan the brains of 20 individuals with developmental stuttering. In these individuals, the ...
Researchers have pinpointed the likely brain origin of stuttering. Stuttering is a speech rhythm disorder marked by involuntary repetitions, prolongations, or pauses hindering normal speech ...
An international research group led by researchers from the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital in Finland has succeeded in identifying the probable origin of stuttering in the brain.
Using MRI scans to measure the brains of 16 persistent developmental stuttering (PDS) patients and 16 controls, the right and left temporal lobe were found to be significantly larger in the adults ...
Predicting cognitive abilities from brain imaging has long been a central goal in cognitive neuroscience. While machine learning has modestly improved predictions using brain MRI data, most studies ...
Because stuttering primarily involves disfluent speech, it’s likely that neural deficits in the brain regions responsible for speech production are at the root of the disorder.
Stuttering is a speech disorder with abnormal movements and disturbed coordination of the movement dynamics of the internal speech muscles, the tongue and soft palate, which affects about 1% of ...
