Abstract

Clinical data indicate that the brain network of speech motor control can be subdivided into at least three functional-neuroanatomical subsystems: (i) planning of movement sequences (premotor ventrolateral-frontal cortex and/or anterior insula), (ii) preparedness for/initiation of upcoming verbal utterances (supplementary motor area, SMA), and (iii) on-line innervation of vocal tract muscles, i.e., motor execution (corticobulbar system, basal ganglia, cerebellum). Using an event-related design, this functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study sought to further delineate the contribution of SMA to pre-articulatory processes of speech production (preceding the innervation of vocal tract muscles) during an acoustically paced syllable repetition task forewarned by a tone signal. Hemodynamic activation across the whole brain and the time courses of the responses in five regions of interest (ROIs) were computed. First, motor preparation was associated with a widespread bilateral activation pattern, encompassing brainstem structures, SMA, insula, premotor ventrolateral-frontal areas, primary sensorimotor cortex (SMC), basal ganglia, and the superior cerebellum. Second, calculation of the time courses of BOLD ("blood oxygenation level-dependent") signal changes revealed the warning stimulus to elicit synchronous onset of hemodynamic activation in these areas. However, during 4-s intervals of syllable repetitions SMA and cerebellum showed opposite temporal activation patterns in terms of a shorter (SMA) and longer (cerebellum) latency of the entire BOLD response-as compared to SMC, indicating different pacing mechanisms during the initial and the ongoing phase of the task. Nevertheless, the contribution of SMA was not exclusively restricted to the preparation/initiation of verbal responses since the extension of mesiofrontal activation varied with task duration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
