The estimated prevalence of aphasia in the UK and the USA is 250 000 and 1 000 000,
respectively. The commonest aetiology is stroke. The impairment may improve with …

Recent studies of aphasia recovery allow a deeper appreciation of the changing neuronal
activation patterns associated with time after stroke. The distinction between neuronal …

The role of left and right hemisphere brain regions in language recovery after stroke-induced
aphasia remains controversial. Here, we summarize how neuroimaging studies increase the …

Background: The reacquisition of language after stroke may profit from intense training with
several hours of language exercises provided on each training day, especially in the chronic …

Aphasic deficits are usually only interpreted in terms of domain-specific language
processes. However, effective human communication and tests that probe this complex …

Objectives: If neuroplastic changes in aphasia are consistent across studies, this would
imply relatively stereotyped mechanisms of recovery which could guide the design of more …

Background and Purpose—Most improvement from poststroke aphasia occurs within the first
3 months, but there remains unexplained variability in recovery. Recently, we reported a …

Background To date, functional imaging studies of treatment-induced recovery from chronic
aphasia only assessed short-term treatment effects after intensive language training. In the …

Background: Functional and structural neuroimaging techniques can increase our
knowledge about the neural processes underlying recovery from post-stroke language …

Together, recent studies provide a deeper appreciation of how the neuronal mechanisms of
recovery depend on the task, the lesion site, the time from insult and the distinction between …
