U.S., July 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07713706) titled 'Neural Mechanisms for Stopping Ongoing Speech Production (Study 2)' on July 14.
Brief Summary: Speech and communication disorders often result in aberrant control of the timing of speech production, such as making improper stops at places where they should not be. During normal speech, the ability to stop when necessary is important for maintaining turn-taking in a smooth conversation. Existing studies have largely investigated neural circuits that support the preparation and generation of speech sounds. It is believed that activity in the prefrontal and premotor cortical areas facilitates high-level speech control and activity in t...
