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 …

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 …

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

Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, the functional
reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in …

Purpose This systematic review summarizes evidence for intensity of treatment and
constraint-induced language therapy (CILT) on measures of language impairment and …

Functional neuroimaging and related neuroimaging techniques are becoming important
tools for rehabilitation research. Functional neuroimaging techniques can be used to …

Objective We conducted a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group
study of both memantine and constraint‐induced aphasia therapy (CIAT) on chronic …

The treatment of aphasias—acquired language disorders—caused by stroke and other
neurological conditions has benefitted from insights from neuroscience and …

Following brain injury or disease there are widespread biochemical, anatomical and
physiological changes that result in what might be considered a new, very different brain …

We used fMRI to investigate the roles played by perilesional and contralesional cortical
regions during language production in stroke patients with chronic aphasia. We applied …
