The loss and recovery of language functions are still incompletely understood. This
longitudinal functional MRI study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying language …

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 …

Abstract Language is not a single function, but instead results from interactions between
neural representations and computations that can be damaged independently of each other …

Saur D, Hartwigsen G. Neurobiology of language recovery after stroke: lessons from
neuroimaging studies. Language is organized in large-scale, predominantly left-lateralized …

Previous functional imaging studies of chronic stroke patients with aphasia suggest that
recovery of language occurs in a pre-existing, bilateral network with an upregulation of …

Background and Purpose—Two mechanisms for recovery from aphasia, repair of damaged
language networks and activation of compensatory areas, have been proposed. In this …

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 …

Functional recovery in response to a brain lesion, such as a stroke, can even occur years
after the incident and may be accelerated by effective rehabilitation strategies. In eleven …

Background and Purpose—This study was undertaken to correlate functional recovery from
aphasia after acute stroke with the temporal evolution of the anatomic, physiological, and …

Background and Purpose—The goal of this study was to develop a functional MRI (fMRI)
paradigm robust and reproducible enough in healthy subjects to be adapted for a follow-up …
