The literature on aphasia with subcortical lesions is reviewed. Lesions of thalamic relay
nuclei linked to the cortical language areas are related to paraphasic aphasia. The data with …

Recent evidence suggests that subcortical lesions can give rise to aphasic symptoms. Two
subcortical structures thought to participate in the pathogenesis of aphasia are the basal …

The study analyses clinical presentation of language functions of 32 patients with subcortical
aphasia induced by stroke. The patients have been divided into three groups according to …

Aphasia following lesions involving the thalamus and/or striato-capsular region contradicts
the long-held assumption that aphasia-producing lesions need to involve the language …

Abstract Purpose of Review Subcortical structures have long been thought to play a role in
language processing. Increasingly spirited debates on language studies, arising from as …

Two clinical-CT scan studies were undertaken in order to investigate the frequency and the
characteristics of aphasia following strictly subcortical left hemisphere lesions. In Study 1, all …

• Subcortical structural damage that includes the anterior and posterior internal capsule,
caudate, thalamus, lenticular nuclei, and insula has been shown to cause aphasias. A …

Twenty five cases of subcortical aphasia of vascular origin (15 haemorrhagic, 10 ischaemic),
have been studied in detail by means of neurolinguistic and brain-scanning approaches …

This paper reviews a number of studies devoted to subcortical aphasia. Functional imaging
techniques (either isotopic or electrophysiological) allowed to analyze the possible …

• We examined four patients with transcortical sensory aphasia and eight with milder
language disturbances but with similar thalamic and/or temporo-occipital lesions. Specific …
