DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51613
Abstract: CAG repeat‐expansion spinocerebellar ataxias (CAG‐SCAs) are genetically defined multisystemic degenerative diseases, resulting in motor symptoms including dysarthria with a substantial impact on daily living. Whilst speech therapy is widely recommended in ataxia, very limited evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22967
Abstract: Although potentially beneficial in terms of raising awareness and conservation funding, tourist visitation of wild primates can have negative impacts on visited groups. Tourism‐generated noise is a relatively understudied facet of ecotourism research, and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.25217
Abstract: Two prominent hypotheses inform our current understanding of how the brain recovers speech-motor function after an insult: (1) Recruitment of perilesional cortex to form a new network of regions in the affected hemisphere (the perilesional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25144
Abstract: Various brain regions are implicated in speech processing, and the specific function of some of them is better understood than others. In particular, involvement of the dorsal precentral cortex (dPCC) in speech perception remains debated,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.27791
Abstract: Speech disorders are very common and disturbing in Parkinson’s disease (PD). They are often gathered under the generic term dysarthria, “a collective name for a group of speech disorders resulting from disturbances in muscular control… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pchj.624
Abstract: The anterior insula (AI) has the central role in coordinating attention and integrating information from multiple sensory modalities. AI dysfunction may contribute to both sensory and social impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Little is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00034-017-0659-6
Abstract: A multilingual synthesizer synthesizes speech, for any given monolingual or mixed-language text, that is intelligible to human listeners. The necessity for such synthesizer arises in a country like India, where multiple languages coexist. For the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00034-019-01040-1
Abstract: A new multicomponent multitone amplitude and frequency-modulated signal model for parametric modelling of speech phoneme (voiced and unvoiced) is presented in this paper. As the speech signal is a multicomponent non-stationary signal, the Fourier–Bessel expansion… read more here.
