Interesting article. First question: In your article you stated "Neuroimaging studies have revealed variations in brain areas associated with language and those who stutter." What areas in the brain are associated with stuttering?

Second question: After you assess an adults severity of stuttering, do you determine the approach to therapy depending on their anxiety and/or dysfluency? For example, medication with or without therapy or just therapy.

Third question: In your opinion, do you think that some people who stutter will continue to look for that "magic pill" or after reading about the neuroimaging studies will they be more enthusiastic about speech therapy?
