You may want to include a section behind the known neurological mechanisms behind it This may dispel the idea that we are nervous or unintelligent. You’re literally fighting with a brain that doesn’t...

Vyvanse converts to dextroamphetamine, it acts on dopamine and norepinephrine systems in the brain. It’s prescribed for ADHD. It causes neurons to release more dopamine and norepinephrine into the syn...

This Dopamine relation to stuttering needs to stop. It's been debunked among alot of people. SOME seems to do well with neuroleptics etc and dopamine reduction stuff but imo it's a minority. If I pop...

Yep, interestingly, both involve dopamine irregularities, but in different directions. ADHD people have lower dopamine baseline in the prefrontal cortex (leading to inattention). Stutterers have...

People can begin to stutter after strokes or being knocked unconcious. There are numerous causes regarding stuttering other than fear....

kinda unrelated but this reminded me just how intertwined stuttering and adhd are (both are dopamine dysregulation issues)...

The exact cause is unknown, mostly due to the variables involved. There is developmental stuttering, where kids start stuttering around age 3 and then it spontaneously resolves itself around age 5-6...

A Neuroscientist's Journey Through Stuttering!

A Neuroscientist's Journey Through Stuttering! I absolutely love reading about neuroplasticity and how the brain can be remolded and reshaped. Last weekend, I had the chance to hear an incredibly inte...

Very interesting how dopamine regulating meds improve fluency. Even GABA enhancing medications improve fluency to some degree, because GABA essentially puts the “brakes” on dopamine hyperactivity, qu...

Everyone is different. The neuroscience literature robustly shows intense exercise changes dopamine/noradrenaline signalling and basal-ganglia plasticity, which are plausible mechanisms for transient...

I’m not saying dopamine is the sole cause of stuttering. The dysregulation of dopamine in the brains speech motor networks exacerbates stuttering, as neuroscientists have found though PET, fMRI scans...

Correct, it requires a very fine balance of dopamine (& other neurotransmitters) in the speech motor networks for proper fluency....

Yep, thus the caveat statement at the bottom of my post. I’ve heard dopamine boosting drugs like Ritalin improves fluency for stutterers who have ADHD as well. Whereas dopamine reducing drugs improv...

You're not alone, several people here have shared that they experienced stuttering in adulthood, whether temporary or persistent. It's sad that your family didn't take it seriously, because what you w...

This is a very interesting observation. It seems to me that you started stuttering in 2021 during COVID right? Did you at any time contract COVID during this period? Since your brother has a stutte...

I started to develop a stutter, and then it stopped. Does anyone know why?

I started to develop a stutter, and then it stopped. Does anyone know why? I didnt know this Reddit existed, or would asked this sooner. For context: Most of my life I have not had a stutter or speech...

They are related. I have the same story and have seen more than one person who quit masturbation and their stuttering improved significantly. Look up the negative effects of masturbation and you will ...

It depends. Everyone’s neuropathy is different. Some recover faster whereas some recover slower. It could take hours. Orgasms don’t just cause a dopamine rush/spike. It also causes a massive crash t...

It’s pure ignorance! Do they think people with ADHD, Autism or Bi-Polar are dumb? They’re all neurological conditions similar to stuttering. Our condition just manifests in speech dysfluency. Has ...

I don’t disagree with your theory at all. The brain has amazing neuroplasticity to repair faulty neural pathways. I believe the solution would be more holistic and would encompass tackling it from di...
