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

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 …

Affecting 1% of the general population, stuttering impairs the normally effortless process of
speech production, which requires precise coordination of sequential movement occurring …

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

We present a new computational model of speech motor control: the Feedback-Aware
Control of Tasks in Speech or FACTS model. FACTS employs a hierarchical state feedback …

The cerebellum has been hypothesized to form a crucial part of the speech motor control
network. Evidence for this comes from patients with cerebellar damage, who exhibit a variety …

The neural basis of mental imagery has been investigated by localizing the underlying
neural networks, mostly in motor and perceptual systems, separately. However, how …

Neurobiology of Language explores the study of language, a field that has seen tremendous
progress in the last two decades. Key to this progress is the accelerating trend toward …

Previous studies have shown that adults who stutter produce smaller corrective motor
responses to compensate for unexpected auditory perturbations in comparison to adults …

Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the smooth flow of speech
production. Stuttering onset occurs during a dynamic period of development when children …
