Stuttering Foundation PodcastResearch Update: Atypical gut microbiota composition in a mouse model of developmental stutteringWant to share your feedback? Send us a message!Researchers from the Delaware Stuttering Project at the University of Delaware—Dr. Ho Ming Chow, Associate Professor and principal investigator, Sayan Nanda, Ph.D. student, and Dr. Nicole Guarino, research scientist—join host Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to discuss their recent article, "Atypical gut microbiota composition in a mouse model of developmental stuttering," published in Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio). Building upon previous genetic and mouse model research by Dr. Dennis Drayna and colleagues at the NIH [previous podcast episode with Dr. Drayna linked below for background], their stud...2025-03-1131 min
StutterTalkThe Genetics of Stuttering with Dr. Dennis Drayna from the NIH (Ep. 684)Dennis Drayna, Ph.D. joins Peter Reitzes to discuss the genetics of stuttering and a recent study in which stuttering mutations were engineered into mice that caused stuttering-like vocalization deficits.
Dr. Dennis Drayna is Scientist Emeritus at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and a Board Member of the Stuttering Foundation.
Dr. Drayna was asked to discuss how "normal" mice responded to mice with stuttering-like vocalizations, what genetics research suggests about persistency and recovery, how genetics research may impact future treatment research, his future plans, and so much more.2020-04-101h 15StutterTalk: Changing how you think about stutteringThe Genetics of Stuttering with Dr. Dennis Drayna from the NIH (Ep. 684)

Speaking of ScienceDr. Dennis Drayna — Part 2: Genetic Insights from Stuttering to the Taste for Menthol in CigarettesThis is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Dennis Drayna, a human geneticist who has identified mutations in several genes that cause communications disorders, particularly stuttering, using family- and population-based genetic methods. Dr. Drayna's team studies the biochemical and cellular effects of these mutations and how they may cause specific neuronal pathologies. With so much to cover, we divided this episode into two parts. Here, we continue to explore stuttering research and delve into Dr. Drayna’s perspectives about research and research training at the NIH, as well as his lab’s ground-breaking work on how genetic variation affects the sense...2019-05-0157 minSpeaking of ScienceDr. Dennis Drayna — Part 1: Genetics of Stuttering and Communication DisordersDennis Drayna, Ph.D., is a human geneticist who has identified mutations in several genes that cause communications disorders, particularly stuttering. With so much to cover, we divided his episode into two parts. Here, in part 1, we discuss Dr. Drayna’s research into the genetics of stuttering, including the use of family- and population-based genetic methods. In part 2 to follow, we continue to explore stuttering research and delve into Dr. Drayna’s perspectives about research and research training at the NIH. We’ll also discuss his lab’s ground-breaking work on how genetic variation affects the sense of taste, and how...2019-04-0956 min
