Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Speech arrest has been observed in conjunction with electrical stimulation of the pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus. This suggests that the pulvinar plays a critical role in speech production and regulation. Stimulation of other subcortical structures listed (B, C, D) have not been specifically linked to speech arrest.
