Previous studies have suggested that recovery of speech comprehension after left
hemisphere infarction may depend on a mechanism in the right hemisphere. However, the …

Acquired language disorders after stroke are strongly associated with left hemisphere
damage. When language difficulties are observed in the context of right hemisphere strokes …

The dorsal bank of the primate superior temporal sulcus (STS) is a polysensory area with
rich connections to unimodal sensory association cortices. These include auditory …

Focal brain lesions are assumed to produce language deficits by two basic mechanisms:
local cortical dysfunction at the lesion site, and remote cortical dysfunction due to disruption …

During speech comprehension the auditory association cortex in the superior temporal
cortex is involved in perceptual analysis of the speech signal, whereas the basal language …

Purpose: Several adult studies have documented the importance of the peri-stroke areas to
aphasia recovery. But, studies examining the differences in patterns of cortical participation …

We hypothesized that the recovery of speech production after left hemisphere stroke not only
depends on the integrity of language-specialized brain systems, but also on 'domain …

Processing of speech is obligatory. Thus, during normal speech comprehension, the listener
is aware of the overall meaning of the speaker's utterance without the need to direct …

Stroke patients often display deficits in language function, such as correctly naming objects.
Our aim was to evaluate the reliability and the patterns of poststroke language recovery …

Patients with left hemisphere damage and concomitant aphasia usually have difficulty
repeating others' speech. Although impaired speech repetition, the primary symptom of …
