Speech therapy can help children with nemaline myopathy manage feeding difficulties and improve communication. Early intervention with alternative communication methods is crucial for those with severe dysarthria.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Speech-Language Pathology
Background:
- Nemaline myopathy is a rare congenital myopathy affecting skeletal muscles, leading to weakness and hypotonia.
- It impacts speech and swallowing, with cognitive development typically unaffected.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Chemical Synapses
Because chemical synapses depend on the release of neurotransmitter molecules from synaptic vesicles to pass on their signal, there is an approximately one millisecond delay between when the axon potential reaches the presynaptic terminal and when the neurotransmitter leads to opening of postsynaptic ion channels. Additionally, this signaling is...
