Aphasia is a common symptom after left hemispheric stroke. Neuroimaging techniques over
the last 10–15 years have described two general trends: Patients with small left hemisphere …

Aphasia is a common consequence of left hemisphere stroke and causes a disabling loss of
language and communication ability. Current treatments for aphasia are inadequate, leaving …

Aphasia is a common consequence of unilateral stroke, typically involving perisylvian
regions of the left hemisphere. The course of recovery from aphasia after stroke is variable …

Background: Accumulating evidence from single case studies, small case series and
randomized controlled trials seems to suggest that inhibitory noninvasive brain stimulation …

Neurologists and aphasiologists have debated for over a century whether right hemisphere
recruitment facilitates or impedes recovery from aphasia. Here we present a well …

One of the most frequent symptoms of unilateral stroke is aphasia, the impairment or loss of
language functions. Over the past few years, behavioral and neuroimaging studies have …

See Fink et al.(doi: 10.1093/aww034) for a scientific commentary on this article. Transcranial
direct current stimulation has shown promise to improve recovery in patients with post-stroke …

Background and Purpose—Functional neuroimaging studies have demonstrated right
inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) activation in poststroke aphasia. It remains unclear whether this …

Background: Functional neuroimaging studies with poststroke aphasia patients have shown
increased activation of the unaffected hemisphere, which hypothetically reflects a …

Background and Purpose—Recently, a combined repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation (rTMS) and activation positron emission tomography (PET) study showed …
