Classical models have traditionally focused on the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's
area) as a key region for motor planning of speech production. However, converging …

Recent years have seen an increased understanding of the importance of myelination in
healthy brain function and neuropsychiatric diseases. Non-invasive microstructural magnetic …

Motor cortex (M1) has been thought to form a continuous somatotopic homunculus
extending down the precentral gyrus from foot to face representations,, despite evidence for …

Speech neuroprostheses have the potential to restore communication to people living with
paralysis, but naturalistic speed and expressivity are elusive. Here we use high-density …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

In tonal languages, which are spoken by nearly one-third of the world's population, speakers
precisely control the tension of vocal folds in the larynx to modulate pitch in order to …

Classical neural architecture models of speech production propose a single system centred
on Broca's area coordinating all the vocal articulators from lips to larynx. Modern evidence …

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 …

A successor to the acclaimed Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex, Understanding the
Prefrontal Cortex presents a careful study of the anatomical connections in this brain region …

Introduction Hypophonia is a common feature of Parkinson's disease (PD); however, the
contribution of motor cortical activity to reduced phonatory scaling in PD is still not clear …
