Movement Preparation - Non Stutterer

Brain programs for body movements are created in the superior pre-motor area. This area is minimally involved in normal speech production. Notice the small, low-intensity activation on the left side of the brain (for non-stuttered speech). This area is important because it is overactive in stutterers.
