Cognitive ageing research examines the cognitive abilities that are preserved and/or those
that decline with advanced age. There is great individual variability in cognitive ageing …

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 …

Behavioural deficits in stroke reflect both structural damage at the site of injury, and
widespread network dysfunction caused by structural, functional, and metabolic …

In most cases, aphasia is caused by strokes involving the left hemisphere, with more
extensive damage typically being associated with more severe aphasia. The classical model …

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 …

Abstract Language impairment, or aphasia, is a disabling symptom that affects at least one
third of individuals after stroke. Some affected individuals will spontaneously recover partial …

Lesion to symptom mapping (LSM) is a crucial tool for understanding the causality of brain-
behavior relationships. The analyses are typically performed by applying statistical methods …

Aphasia, impairment of language after stroke or other neurological insult, is a common and
often devastating condition that affects nearly every social activity and interaction …

Abstract Language is not a single function, but instead results from interactions between
neural representations and computations that can be damaged independently of each other …

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive tool that induces
neuromodulation in the brain. Several studies have shown the effectiveness of tDCS in …
