TLDR
This report reviews 13 cases in which a dysarthria appeared, remitted, and reappeared within seconds, and speculations concerning the origin of the paroxysmal and ataxic character of the Dysarthria are presented along with a preliminary checklist for identifying the disorder.Abstract:
This report reviews 13 cases in which a dysarthria appeared, remitted, and reappeared within seconds. The speech pattern of each case was characteristic of ataxic dysarthria. A cinefluorographic film for one of the subjects provided a rare opportunity to study the articulatory dynamics of this disorder. Multiple sclerosis either was given as a diagnosis or was strongly suspected in each case, and carbamazepine has been an effective treatment. Speculations concerning the origin of the paroxysmal and ataxic character of the dysarthria are presented along with a preliminary checklist for identifying the disorder.read more

The contribution of the cerebellum to speech processing
Hermann Ackermann,Ingo Hertrich +1 more
TL;DR: The available parametric data indicate the cerebellum to support several aspects of speech processing: acceleration of orofacial gestures, timing (coordination) of complex articulatory sequences, presumably, in cooperation with the anterior perisylvian language zone and control of brainstem reflexes monitoring respiratory and laryngeal muscle activity.

Paroxysmal symptoms as the first manifestations of multiple sclerosis.
J A Twomey,M L Espir +1 more
TL;DR: Attention has been focused on paroxysmal symptoms of brain stem and spinal cord origin of the following types: parxysmal dysarthria and ataxia, diplopia, tonic seizures, paroxYSmal akinesia, par oxysmal sensory disturbances and pains, which have been reported as the first symptoms of MS with remissions ranging from less than one to 21 years before other manifestations of MS have developed.

The influence of speaking rate on articulatory hypokinesia in parkinsonian dysarthria.
TL;DR: Findings provide a physiologic basis for the perception of hypokinetic dysarthria in Parkinson's disease and suggest that speaking rate may be an important control variable contributing to articulatory hypokinesia in Parkinson’s disease.

Interarticulator coordination in dysarthria: an X-ray microbeam study.
TL;DR: The coordination of labial and lingual gestures for /u/ production in persons with Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and in control participants was evaluated.
