A member asked:
What is the cause of lip smacking when speaking? could a mild stroke be the cause of the lip smacking? how do you treat lip smacking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LipSmacking=Behavior: All living creature behaviors=functions of the anatomic features exhibiting the behavior, yet only way complex/coordinated/changeable behaviors are achieved is by nervous system/brain control of the anatomy, by the mind within the brain driving the behavior. Does this mean conscious awareness? No! Why? Because most behaviors are run by non-conscious activity. Stroke? Yes. Retraining, Relearning.
