Background Aphasia is an important stroke sequel that impacts negatively on the HQoL of
stroke patients. Although a number of stroke patients with aphasia will have good functional …

Objectives: To review the literature on the specific role of the right cerebral hemisphere
during recovery from aphasia in order to address the lack of consensus among authors. To …

Background and Purpose—Previous studies have suggested that patients' potential for
poststroke language recovery is related to lesion size; however, lesion location may also be …

Background and Purpose—Although functional imaging studies suggest that recruitment of
contralesional areas hinders optimal functional reorganization in patients with aphasic …

Stroke remains one of the most promising targets for cell therapy. Thorough preclinical
efficacy testing of human neural stem cell (hNSC) lines in a rat model of stroke (transient …

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 …

One way to investigate the neuronal underpinnings of language competence is to correlate
patholinguistic profiles of aphasic patients to corresponding lesion sites. Constituting the …

Background The majority of studies investigating the neural mechanisms underlying
treatment in people with aphasia have examined task‐based brain activity. However, the …

Research on the neural substrate of aphasia recovery has consistently increased since the
advent of functional neuroimaging. The evidence from therapy-induced aphasia recovery …

Background Most of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) studies in aphasia have
already shown that significant changes in language performance could be improved by …
