Hi! I saw that there are some studies being conducted about speech fluency and brain communication (similar to dyslexia, only in speech). Are there any studies about vocal cord function -- that the vocal cords are actually getting the right message, but that they end up clacking together too many times for each sound? My Dad, who stuttered, recently had a larynx scope for an asthma issue. The doctor said that this vocal cords showed signs of atrophy, which is caused by malnutrition. Since he is not malnurished, but did stutter all through childhood, would this be the cause of atrophy? Thanks! M
