TL;DR: Results indicate that anterior and posterior areas may play distinct roles in early and late stages of language production, and suggest a novel model for lateralization of cerebral activity during the generation of discourse.

TL;DR: A pathophysiological model for ADSD is suggested in which BTX treatment results in more efficient cortical processing of sensory information, making this information available to motor areas that use it to more effectively regulate laryngeal movements.

TL;DR: fMRI results show that a core group of regions beyond the auditory cortices were preferentially activated for familiar speech categories and for novel nonspeech categories, and there is no inherent left hemisphere advantage in the categorical processing of speech stimuli, or for the categorization task itself.

TL;DR: The results showed that left hemisphere perisylvian areas were active throughout, interacting with visual and heteromodal areas during early lexical access and with motor and auditory areas during overt articulation.

TL;DR: A significant improvement in motor symptoms but worsening of speech and language is exhibited under bilateral and left-only DBS conditions, which suggests that these negative effects may be principally due to left-sided stimulation.
