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

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

Right hemisphere activation during functional imaging studies of language has frequently
been reported following left hemisphere injury. Few studies have anatomically characterized …

The importance of the left hemisphere of the brain for language processing and control of
speech was first established by 19thcentury neurologists, who investigated the correlation …

Verbal stimuli often induce right‐hemispheric activation in patients with aphasia after left‐
hemispheric stroke. This right‐hemispheric activation is commonly attributed to functional …

Right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) rarely causes aphasias marked by clear and
widespread failures of comprehension or extreme difficulty producing fluent speech …

Stroke survivors with acquired language deficits are commonly thought to reach a
'plateau'within a year of stroke onset, after which their residual language skills will remain …

A predominant theory regarding early stroke and its effect on language development, is that
early left hemisphere lesions trigger compensatory processes that allow the right …

For the past 150 years, neurobiological models of language have debated the role of key
brain regions in language function. One consistently debated set of issues concern the role …

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 …
