The experience of stuttering among Ultra-Orthodox and Secular/Traditional Jews
Conclusion UO participants showed higher subjective stuttering severity ratings, yet less impact on quality of life, and no correlation between subjective stuttering and other measures of stuttering experience. These novel findings may result from the combined protective effect of religiosity and socio-cultural characteristics on UO PWS’ well-being, despite heightened concern about social consequences of stuttering within UO society.

Self-efficacy and quality of life in adults who stutter
Conclusion Results provide clarity on the predictive value of self-efficacy and its relationship to quality of life and stuttered speech frequency. Findings highlight that the unique life experiences of adults who stutter require a multidimensional approach to the assessment and treatment of stuttered speech disorders.

The effects of actors vocal exercises for relaxation on fluency: A preliminary study
Conclusion A treatment for stuttering based on Linklater’s work including regulation of breathing, relaxation, and awareness of breath may be effective in improving fluency and decreasing the impact of stuttering and warrants further study. (Source: Journal of Fluency Disorders)

White matter pathways in persistent developmental stuttering: lessons from tractography
Conclusions Persistent developmental stuttering is consistently associated with differences in bilateral distributed networks. We review evidence showing that PDS involves differences in bilateral dorsal fronto-temporal and fronto-parietal pathways, in callosal pathways, in several motor pathways and in basal ganglia connections. This entails an important role for long range white matter pathways in this disorder. Using a wide-lens analysis, we demonstrate differences in additional, right hemispheric pathways, which go beyond the replicable findings in the literature. This suggests that the affected circuits may extend bey...

Clinical utility of self-disclosure for adults who stutter: Apologetic versus informative statements
Conclusion Clinicians should recommend their clients self-disclose in an informative manner to facilitate more positive observer perceptions. (Source: Journal of Fluency Disorders)

Planum Temporale Asymmetry in People who Stutter
Conclusions We conclude that reduced planum temporale asymmetry is not a prominent feature of the brain in PWS and that the asymmetry is unrelated to stuttering severity. (Source: Journal of Fluency Disorders)

Altered morphology of the nucleus accumbens in persistent developmental stuttering
Conclusion Recent theories of basal ganglia functions suggest that the nucleus accumbens is a motivation-to-movement interface. A speaker intends to reach communicative goals, but stuttering can derail these efforts. It is therefore highly plausible to find alterations in the motivation-to-movement interface in stuttering. While behavioral studies of stuttering sought to find links between the limbic and sensorimotor system, we provide the first neuroimaging evidence of alterations in the limbic system. Thus, our findings might initialize a unified neurobiological framework of persistent developmental stuttering that integ...
