What will happen to You if You won't talk for a very long time? Bashny.Net

Let's imagine that you Wake up one morning and decide that you will stop talking for 20 years — with your body in this case will happen some changes. It should be noted that we are talking about deliberate, conscious rejection of the speech of a healthy person.





The process of phonation, or the production of speech starts in the cerebral cortex, flows through the larynx and ends in the resonating cavities of the throat, mouth and nose. Changing one of these parts will lead to a change in voice. It is also very important vocal cords are two bands of smooth muscle next to each other.
When you want to say something, the brain gives the voice signal to catch up to each other, and air from the lungs moves them honey due to the diaphragm — the muscle located below the lungs. This will cause the vocal cords to vibrate, and the vibrations that make sound.

The rejection of the use of these muscles does not mean that you will be numb — changes in voice and muscles for phonation, of course, happens, but not very significant. If you stop talking, the number of active or potentially active neurons for this process will be less because working for speech neurons will be used by the brain for other tasks.
