Translational neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that aims to bridge the gap between
basic science and clinical practice. Regarding aphasia rehabilitation, there are still several …

Purpose This Phase I study investigated behavioral and functional MRI (fMRI) outcomes of 2
intensive treatment programs to improve naming in 2 participants with chronic moderate-to …

Decades of electrophysiological work have demonstrated the presence of “spectral slowing”
in stroke patients–a prominent shift in the power spectrum towards lower frequencies, most …

Spontaneous signals in neuroimaging data may provide information on cortical health in
disease and aging, but the relative sensitivity of different approaches is unknown. In the …

Neural networks for processing language often are reorganized in patients with epilepsy.
However, the extent and location of within and between hemisphere re-organization are not …

Meinzer M, Rodriguez AD, Gonzalez Rothi LJ. First decade of research on constrained-
induced treatment approaches for aphasia rehabilitation. Approaches for treating poststroke …

Aphasia, a condition defined as the partial or complete loss of language function after brain
damage, is one of the most devastating cognitive deficits produced by stroke lesions. Over …

The neural mechanisms that underlie generalization of treatment-induced improvements in
word finding in persons with aphasia (PWA) are currently poorly understood. This study …

Background Few studies have documented the possibility of treatment-induced
improvements in language functions 12 months or longer after stroke. The purpose of the …

Previous functional imaging studies that compared activity patterns in older and younger
adults during nonlinguistic tasks found evidence for 2 phenomena: older participants usually …
