Purpose We advanced a multifactorial, dynamic account of the complex, nonlinear
interactions of motor, linguistic, and emotional factors contributing to the development of …

In this review, we examine the structural connectivity of a recently-identified fiber pathway,
the frontal aslant tract (FAT), and explore its function. We first review structural connectivity …

Stuttering and Cluttering provides a clear, accessible and wide-ranging overview of both the
theoretical and clinical aspects of two disorders of fluency: stuttering and cluttering. This …

Stuttering is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that has to date eluded a clear
explication of its pathophysiological bases. In this review, we utilize the Directions Into …

Purpose Stuttering is a disorder that affects millions of people all over the world. Over the
past two decades, there has been a great deal of interest in investigating the neural basis of …

Affecting 5% of all preschool-aged children and 1% of the general population,
developmental stuttering—also called childhood-onset fluency disorder—is a complex …

Abstract Background Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) usually present overlapping
symptoms. Abnormal white matter (WM) microstructure has been found in these disorders …

The ability to express thoughts through fluent speech production is a most human faculty,
one that is often taken for granted. Stuttering, which disrupts the smooth flow of speech …

The frontal aslant tract (FAT) is a pathway that connects the inferior frontal gyrus with the
supplementary motor area (SMA) and pre-SMA. The FAT was recently identified and …

A neuronal sign of persistent developmental stuttering is the magnified coactivation of right
frontal brain regions during speech production. Whether and how stuttering severity relates …
