Mike-
That is an interesting study- ahem. But difficult to comment on given the n=5, 
and the rather free interpretation of some of the description (the frontal 
lobes are labeled on one figure as "The Seat of the Will"). Given what 
Glossolalia is comprised of I would not have predicted that the portions of the 
brain normally involved in sequencing or producing or comprehension of normal 
speech/lanugage patterns would be deeply involved. I do agree with you that the 
correct answer is probably "Neither Broca's nor Wernicke's areas are involved".
