In the October 2021 issue of Brain, Dr. Cler’s paper “Elevated Iron Concentration in Putamen and Cortical Speech Motor Network in Developmental Stuttering” was selected as Editor’s Choice!

In this paper, Dr. Cler and colleagues in Oxford performed quantitative mapping of brain tissue, which can be used to measure iron content alongside markers sensitive to myelin, thereby offering particular sensitivity to the measurement of iron-rich structures such as the basal ganglia.
