Scott,
Those comments were very well put, Scott, and I completely agree.
After I sent me comment in a few days ago, I went away for the weekend, and I was driving through Virginia when I suddenly realized what was wrong with the article in the ASHA Leader. They said that the article helped elucidate where "stuttering" was located in the brain. What the article seems to show is, as Scott described, where the brain activity associated with stuttering behavior is located in the brain. Thus, it could be said that the authors have helped us understand where stuttering **behavior** is "located." My fear is that people will read that as meaning that the authors have discovered where stuttering **the disorder** is located in the brain. So, it was just a piece of somewhat sloppy journalism.
