Developmental stuttering is characterized by dysfluent speech that includes repetitions, blocks, and prolongations of speech sounds, and associated involuntary and/or ancillary movements. Converging evidence has shown neuronal activity is reduced in the auditory temporal cortex and increased in right hemisphere speech-motor control areas in Adults Who Stutter (AWS) [1-6]. These atypical patterns of neural activation may result in dissociations between auditory speech perception and motor…

Induced fluency decreased or eliminated the overactivity in most motor areas, and largely reversed the auditory-system underactivations and the deactivation of the speech production system, suggesting stuttering is a disorder affecting the multiple neural systems used for speaking.

The data support the conclusion that stuttering is a disorder related primarily to disruption in the cortical and subcortical neural systems supporting the selection, initiation and execution of motor sequences necessary for fluent speech production.

Comparison of scans acquired during fluency versus dysfluency-evoking tasks suggested that during the production of stuttered speech, anterior forebrain regions are disproportionately active in stuttering subjects, while post-rolandic regions-which play a role in perception and decoding of sensory information-are relatively silent.
