If we can find a way (it may already by possible) to trigger angiogenesis in certain parts of the brain, we could literally fix the disease, assuming that the reduced blood flow is a cause rather than...

I think I recall stuttering while whispering... The "why" is sort of crude: Stutter varies a lot. Can't really get much closer to an answer :)...

I mean, I agree and disagree: I do think that anxiety plays a huge role in it, but the root cause is dually a subconscious tightening of certain muscles in the neck and improper breathing when speakin...

Very interesting. As someone who's in school to study stuttering, in particular the neurological origins, this could be very important. I'd wait to see it replicated once or twice before putting much ...

> I do question if that will cause you to stutter when you feel powerful. Like your brain will associate feeling powerful/strong with stuttering. You're right, I didn't consider the neuroplasticit...

I would do a speech in front of 10000 people. Go out and socialise more and just talk all day....

Same thing with me bro. Maybe it's pure anxiety or pure mechanical failure or a mixture of both (most likely)....

The saphris isn't meant to treat the psychological side of stuttering, but it is intended to treat what is thought to be the cause of stuttering, excess dopamine in the brain. We used the actual study...

Yes, I went to my primary physician asking to be prescribed medication for stuttering and he said that the types of medications I was asking for would be better suited under a psychiatrist. I've hear...

It could be psychological, anxiety plays a big part. My stuttering has improved a lot in the past months, how is that explained from a neurological standpoint? ...

Why do you guys have this mentality of "Ill never be able to talk normally" or "I have 70 years more of this". I really believe stuttering can be cured, its not some weird vodoo magic that some wiza...

Though I think that my stutter is mostly a neurological disorder, as most sources say, I do have mental blocks sometimes because I panic when I start to stutter....

Yes, sometimes I stutter when I am alone. As far as I know he causes aren't psychological but rather physiological. And there's a lot of evidence that points to it being genetic. There is no "mental b...
