  2. 1. On the Causal Mechanisms of Stuttering

    Author : Per A Alm; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; stuttering; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi; neurophysiology; Neurologi; dystonia; neuropsychology; Neurology; basal ganglia;

    Abstract : Stuttering is one of the most common speech disorders. However, the etiology is poorly understood, and is likely to be heterogeneous. The aim of this thesis was to clarify causal mechanisms, focusing the brain. READ MORE

  4. 2. Stuttering in young females and males

    Author : Ineke Samson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Stuttering is a relatively common speech disorder and most people have met someone who stutters. Symptoms of stuttering are repetitions, prolongations and blocks that stop the natural flow of speech. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fine motor timing ability - A study of syllable repetition and finger tapping in adults with developmental stuttering or Parkinson's disease compared with healthy adults

    Author : Maria Sundqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor timing; synchronization; finger tapping; syllable repetition; Developmental stuttering; Parkinson s disease;

    Abstract : Aim and methods: The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the fine motor timing ability as manifested by speech motor and fine hand motor activity in persons with developmental stuttering or Parkinson’s disease, and in healthy adults. A test method for systematic comparison between speech motor timing and fine hand motor control was developed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dissecting the intrastriatal neuronal circuitry that regulates direct and indirect striatal projections

    Author : Henrike Planert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : basal ganglia;

    Abstract : The basal ganglia (BG) are a group of subcortical nuclei that are interconnected in multiple parallel cortico-BG-thalamocortical loops. They have been implicated in many functions, among them action control and motor learning. The striatum forms the main input nucleus of the BG. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computer Modelling of Neuronal Interactions in the Striatum

    Author : Johannes Hjorth; Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski; Kevin Gurney; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; striatum; fast spiking interneurons; medium spiny projection neurons; gap junctions; interoperability; MUSIC; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Large parts of the cortex and the thalamus project into the striatum,which serves as the input stage of the basal ganglia. Information isintegrated in the striatal neural network and then passed on, via themedium spiny (MS) projection neurons, to the output stages of thebasal ganglia. READ MORE
