- Title
The Neuroscience of Speech and Language.
- Authors
STEGEMÖLLER, ELIZABETH L.
- Abstract
Speech, language, and music are defining characteristics of humans. Recent advances in neuroimaging have allowed researchers to examine brain activity during speech and language tasks, revealing the complexity of these processes. Research has also begun to better understand the neurobiological underpinnings of speech and language impairments. Yet, there remains a need to better understand how music therapy impacts these impairments. The main purpose of this manuscript is to provide an overview of the neuroscience of speech and language. The use of music therapy in the treatment of speech and language impairments, such as aphasia and dysarthria, will also be touched upon. The neuroscience of auditory processing, language processing, and speech production will be provided, followed by a brief overview of the neural underpinnings of dysarthria and aphasia and implications for music therapy.
