Thanks for your clarifying and hopefull article on brain-plasticity wich confirms what empiric observation presumed. But, I wonder if there is any evidence how the emotional component of stuttering is to be influenced on a neurological basis, as emotional responses tend to be more persistent. Has it to do with the fact that emotion resides in phylogenically or evolutionary older parts of the brain?
