She also showed that two brain regions were anti-correlated, but only in people who stutter without AAF, but not in fluent people or people who stutter with AAF.<BR/><BR/>I cannot remember any details. You would need to contact her for more details. She is a lecturer at Oxford University. I guess if you are going to Oxford, you will meet her.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>TomTom Weidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084153394215001999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-18056563404166382842008-05-18T10:06:00.000+02:002008-05-18T10:06:00.000+02:00Hi Tom, any updates on brain activity while under ...Hi Tom, any updates on brain activity while under AAF ? <BR/>AlanAlan Falckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391054718063872919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-49888313125133937772008-05-17T09:13:00.000+02:002008-05-17T09:13:00.000+02:00Very interesting.

It fascinates me that both stuttering and Aspergers are found in about 4 times as many males as females, and I'm wondering if they may be rooted in in the same issues in the brain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
