Deficits in monitoring self-produced speech in Parkinson's disease.

CONCLUSIONS: The finding indicates that auditory evoked activity is abnormally modulated during speech in Parkinson's patients who do not subjectively notice speech impairment. This mechanism could play a role in producing speech deficits in as the disease progresses. SIGNIFICANCE: Our study is the first to show abnormal early auditory electrophysiological correlates of monitoring speech in Parkinson's disease patients.
