Abstract
Beta oscillations, timing, and stuttering.
Highlights
It has been proposed that one of the causes of stuttering is a deficit in brain timing networks (Alm, 2004; Ludlow and Loucks, 2004; Etchell et al, 2014)
There appear to be structural and functional abnormalities in brain areas that provide the substrate for internal timing
There are structural and functional abnormalities in areas linked to external timing, which are thought to represent compensatory plastic changes in stuttering (De Nil et al, 2008; Watkins et al, 2008; Lu et al, 2012). It remains unknown whether such deficits in internal timing mechanisms in stuttering may be manifest in any measurable neural marker
Summary
It has been proposed that one of the causes of stuttering is a deficit in brain timing networks (Alm, 2004; Ludlow and Loucks, 2004; Etchell et al, 2014). There appear to be structural and functional abnormalities in brain areas (such as the basal ganglia and supplementary motor area) that provide the substrate for internal timing (the ability to time movements without an external cue; Alm, 2010; Etchell et al, 2014).
