The aim of this study was to investigate whether grey matter densities (GMD) in the brain associate with speech disfluency in 120 (65M, 55F) 5-year-old children. Speech disfluency, which was quantified via audio recordings, was measured as a continuous variable, covering a broad spectrum of disfluencies observed in a sample of children participating in the FinnBrain Birth Cohort study. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of the whole brain was utilised to examine the associations between GMD and speech disfluency. We found negative associations between

A growing body of evidence suggests that voluntary actions can modulate the subjective experience of time associated with their outcomes, thereby optimising interaction with the environment. Our previous research explored this phenomenon using a temporal reproduction task, showing that the subjective time of an action outcome can be compressed under conditions where the sense of agency (SoA) is enhanced or attention is divided. Building on these findings, our current fMRI study investigates the neural mechanisms underlying time compression during SoA-enhanced and divided-attention actions. Par
