Artical 1

I think that the study was interesting because they showed a man who had suffered from a stammer his whole life and shortly after suffering from a stroke was the stammer cured. What was it that caused the stroke to cure his stammer? Will his stammer ever come back? Why has the stammer remained absent? I found it interesting that by having a stroke and the damaged it caused reversed his stammer. The previous research stated that people who stammer have exaggerated activation in the cerebellum. The research also showed that simply by slowing down the man speech somehow aided his stammer. The researchers concluded that the cerebellum and or its connections with the brain structures has an important role in maintaining developmental stammering.
