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 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 …

The frontal aslant tract (FAT) is a recently identified white matter tract connecting the
supplementary motor complex and lateral superior frontal gyrus to the inferior frontal gyrus …

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 …

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 …

Neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation provide insights into the neuronal
mechanisms underlying speech disfluencies in chronic persistent stuttering. In the present …

Stuttering occurs in early childhood during a dynamic phase of brain and behavioral
development. The latest studies examining children at ages close to this critical …

Much is known about the role of cortical areas in language processing. The shift towards
network approaches in recent years has highlighted the importance of uncovering the role of …
