Objective: We sought to determine via a cross-sectional study the contribution of (1) the right
hemisphere's speech-relevant white matter regions and (2) interhemispheric connectivity to …

Recently, two different white matter regions that support speech fluency have been
identified: the aslant tract and the anterior segment of the arcuate fasciculus (ASAF). The …

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 …

Non-fluent aphasia implies a relatively straightforward neurological condition characterized
by limited speech output. However, it is an umbrella term for different underlying …

Using a pre-post design, eleven chronic stroke patients with large left hemisphere lesions
and nonfluent aphasia underwent diffusion tensor imaging and language testing before and …

Patients with left hemisphere damage and concomitant aphasia usually have difficulty
repeating others' speech. Although impaired speech repetition, the primary symptom of …

Objective: To investigate the role of multiple distributed brain networks, including the default
mode, fronto-temporo-parietal, and cingulo-opercular networks, which mediate domain …

Previous lesion studies suggest that semantic and phonological fluency are differentially
subserved by distinct brain regions in the left temporal and the left frontal cortex …

Poor performance on verbal fluency tasks is associated with an increased risk of post-stroke
cognitive impairment. Grey matter regions supporting verbal fluency have been identified via …

Abstract Background and Purpose Left hemisphere stroke often results in a variety of
language deficits due to varying patterns of damage to language networks. The Cookie Theft …
