The basic answer to your questions are yes, and possibly. There is even a report about a person who stuttered, who lost his stuttering after a stroke (http://www.personalmd.com/news/n0913090822.shtml but I have not found the article in Neurology referred to in the URL. To learn a lot more, there is a huge bibliography about neurogenic stuttering you may find helpful in answering your questions and providing you with a lot of additional information, at: http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/related/neurobib.html Also, check the brochure from the Stuttering Foundation at http://www.stutteringhelp.org/Default.aspx?tabid=81 which briefly addresses treatment. Most of the texts used in stuttering courses also address your question well.
