It is well known that some people who stutter (PWS) show an immediate reduction of stuttering when they speak under a condition of delayed auditory feedback (DAF). In the present study, to investigate cortical activations during speech production through the DAF effect, we performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments under the NAF (non-altered feedback) and DAF conditions for PWS and people who do not stutter (PWNS). The results are that (1) the PWS showed the higher activation in the right inferior frontal gyrus (Brodmann Area (BA)45) than the PWNS under the NAF condition; (2) the activations of the right superior temporal gyrus and the right middle temporal gyrus were higher under the DAF condition than the NAF in both PWNS and PWS groups; (3) the PWNS showed the higher activation in the right supplementary motor area and superior temporal gyrus than the PWS under both NAF and DAF conditions; (4) the PWNS showed the higher activation in the inferior frontal gyrus(the right BA45 and the bilateral BA46) under the DAF condition than the NAF. These results reconfirm most of the previous findings with some slightly different activation areas, and underscore the involvement of inferior frontal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus in dysfluency.
