Forty-five patients with unilateral demarcated vascular lesions in the basal ganglia, the
thalamus and the deep white matter were investigated with an “aphasia battery.” Patients …

Abstract Language disturbances were studied in 40 patients with well-demarcated vascular
lesions of the speech-dominant hemisphere. Computerized cranial tomography was used …

The language abilities of a group of seven chronic aphasics with vascular lesions centered
on the striato-capsular region and thalamus of the left hemisphere were described. A range …

The belief that the basal ganglia are solely related to motor function has come under attack
and no longer appears tenable. In the past few years a number of investigators have …

An attempt was made to compare and contrast observations and assessments made by
neurosurgeons, psychologists, and speech therapists, with special reference to speech and …

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 speech and language abilities of four cases with subcortical brain lesions of vascular
origin centred on either the thalamus or basal ganglia were investigated at least six months …

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 …

Three patients with lesions mainly confined to the left basal ganglia were studied with a
series of neuropsychological and neurolinguistic tests. Two patients were nonfluent …

The language abilities of 14 Ss (aged 40–91 yrs) with chronic nonthalamic subcortical (NS)
lesions following stroke were assessed using a test battery probing a broad range of …
