Researchers have sought to understand how language is processed in the brain, how brain
damage affects language abilities, and what can be expected during the recovery period …

When the language-dominant hemisphere is damaged by a focal lesion, the brain may
reorganize the language network through functional and structural changes known as …

Objective Many stroke patients show remarkable recovery of language after initial severe
impairment, but it is difficult to predict which patients will show good recovery. We aimed to …

Background and Purpose—Physiological effects of stroke are best assessed over entire
brain networks rather than just focally at the site of structural damage. Resting-state …

Abstract See Thompson and Woollams (doi: 10.1093/brain/awx264) for a scientific
commentary on this article. Previous research with aphasic patients has shown that picture …

For many years, researchers have sought to understand whether and when stroke survivors
with acquired language impairment (aphasia) will recover. There is broad agreement that …

Patients with large left‐hemisphere lesions and post‐stroke aphasia often remain nonfluent.
Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) may be an effective alternative to traditional speech therapy …

The involvement of the right hemisphere (RH) in language, and especially after aphasia
resulting from left hemisphere (LH) lesions, has been recently highlighted. The present study …

Aphasia is an acquired language disorder resulting from damage to portions of the brain
which are responsible for language comprehension and formulation. This disorder can …

Poststroke aphasia typically results from brain damage to the left‐lateralized language
network. The contribution of the right‐lateralized homologues in aphasia recovery remains …
