Functional imaging studies with nonfluent aphasia patients have observed “over-activation”
in right (R) language homologues. This may represent a maladaptive strategy; suppression …

Most individuals who experience aphasia after a stroke recover to some extent, with the
majority of gains taking place in the first year. The nature and time course of this recovery …

Restrengthening of the residual language network is likely to be crucial for speech recovery
in poststroke aphasia. Eight participants with chronic aphasia received intensive speech …

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 …

Two patients with residual nonfluent aphasia after ischemic stroke received an intention
treatment that was designed to shift intention and language production mechanisms from the …

Background and Purpose—Recently, a combined repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation (rTMS) and activation positron emission tomography (PET) study showed …

Purpose: The neural mechanisms that support aphasia recovery are not yet fully understood.
Our goal was to evaluate longitudinal changes in naming recovery in participants with …

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

Aphasia is one of the most striking cognitive sequels of strokes and other cerebral lesions,
and attempts to rehabilitate aphasic patients have been undertaken for many years …

Attempts to personalize aphasia treatment to the extent where it is possible to reliably predict
individual response to a particular treatment have yielded inconclusive results. The current …
