Abstract

Recent functional brain imaging studies have provided new insights into the neural processes of speech production which deepen our knowledge on the underlying neural mechanisms of speech disorders such as stuttering. Observed differences in functional brain maps between stuttering and nonstuttering speakers and between fluent and disfluent speech have retested long-held theories with regard to the neural deficit underlying developmental stuttering, such as problems in the non dominant motor area and the auditory self-monitoring system, and allowed researchers to develop specific enhanced hypotheses. This paper summarizes the evidence available to date, and the strengths and limitations of the available data are discussed by way of outlining the future research directions.
