While it might feel as though we do it without thinking, getting words from our brain and out of our mouths in an intelligible way is actually an incredibly complex process – and scientists just made a new discovery about a key part of it.
New research has identified the part of the brain that makes sure our words are being properly articulated: the
During planned breaks in the surgery, the patients were asked to say aloud words and short sentences. While they read, the participants could hear what they were saying through headphones. Thousands of recordings were made in total, enabling the researchers to spot differences in neural activity as the delay increased and the study volunteers compensated, slowing down their speech rhythms to match, as you might do with an echo on a video call.
."When we speak, we continuously monitor our vocal output and adjust our vocalization to maintain fluency."Normally, the brain can't be readily accessed while people are conscious and talking, which is why there are gaps in our knowledge about which part of the brain handles which part of speech control.and the supramarginal gyrus were involved in correcting errors in speech – both brain regions have been implicated in aphasia, the inability to understand or produce language.
