The honest and short answer is: We don't know. My personal guess is that the core of the stuttering phenomenon occurs at the central level. It's a CNS issue, in which our body tries to correct/compensate w/ behavioral-motor activations. Now--Where is the CNS error? It's really tough to know. There's so much abnormality going on in the stuttered brain that it's tough to know if we're viewing the pathology, or the compensation/result of the pathology (which lies further upstream). Oh how I wish there was a better answer. Perhaps someone smarter than me will chime in...
