Educational Objectives:(1) The reader will be able to describe the major types of acoustic
analysis available for the study of speech,(2) specify the components needed for a modern …

A classical tenet of clinical neurology proposes that cerebellar disorders may give rise to
speech motor disorders (ataxic dysarthria), but spare perceptual and cognitive aspects of …

Background: There are few data on the cerebral organization of motor aspects of speech
production and the pathomechanisms of dysarthric deficits subsequent to brain lesions and …

In order to delineate the neuroanatomical correlates of speech motor control, functional
magnetic resonance imaging was performed during silent repetitions of the syllable “ta” at …

The value of music therapy in neurological rehabilitation is increasingly recognised and this
practical manual provides comprehensive guidance for clinicians on the application of music …

A multitude of functional imaging studies revealed a mass activation effect at the level of the
sensorimotor cortex during repetitive finger-tapping or finger-to-thumb opposition tasks in …

So far, only sparse data on the cerebral organization of speech motor control are available.
In order to further delineate the neural basis of articulatory functions, fMRI measurements …

Lesions to or diseases of the cerebellum may disrupt the motor components of speech
production both at the segmental and suprasegmental level giving rise to “ataxic dysarthria” …

Neuropsychological findings together with recent advances in neuroanatomical and
neuroimaging techniques have spurred the investigation of cerebellar contributions to …

The sequencing of smooth and rhythmically “sculptured” words and phrases at a speaker's
habitual speech rate (4 Hz to 6 Hz) critically depends on the cerebellum. Besides overt …
