Severe stuttering in adulthood is also linked to decreased functional connectivity between the cerebellum and a specific area in the prefrontal cortex just behind our eye sockets called the orbitofrontal cortex or OFC.The cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical motor loop is a system of neural circuits that connect cortical and subcortical brain regions.
Guenther's"origins of stuttering" hypothesis posits that the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical motor loop is heavily involved in the initiation of speech motor programs and that anomalies in the structure and function of these motor loops disrupt speech initiation in ways that cause people to stammer.found that tool use and language syntax share the same neural circuits rooted in the basal ganglia.
