Stuttering is accompanied by abnormally high activity in
A) the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
B) Broca's area.
C) the basal ganglia.
D) Wernicke's area.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that stuttering is associated with abnormally high activity in the basal ganglia, a group of structures involved in movement control. This hyperactivity may contribute to the disruptions in speech production seen in stuttering. Activity in the other brain areas listed (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Broca's area, Wernicke's area) have not been consistently linked to stuttering.
