Atypical brain activation in children who stutter in a visual Go/Nogo task: An ERP study

The ability to communicate is an essential part of our everyday lives and any problem in this area can have a harmful effect on the quality of life. In developmental stuttering, speech is characterized with repetitions, prolongations and blocks that make the speech dysfluent thus affecting communication negatively. According to current theories stuttering may arise from neurobiological and neurophysiological differences in brain areas related to speech and auditory processing (Giraud et al., 2008; Jansson-Verkasalo et al., 2014; Watkins et al.,2008; for an overview, see review by Alm, 2004).
