Salmelin did this nine years ago. Why has there been no other MEG study? She said herself that MEG is very tricky because one needs to reconstruct a 3D map from 2D data. And this inverse problem is very difficult to solve. So I would wait for more or better MEG technology for a more definite conclusion. Also, I am also concerned that abnormal function could either be due to structural abnormality or due to the running of a learned behaviour. So we might activate differently because we work differently or because we activate differently due certain triggers. I view stuttering as delay being the bottle neck, the dysfunction shared by all stutterers, but caused by different causes and leading to different reactions.
