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 …

Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, the functional
reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in …

Background and Purpose—Recent research suggests that increased left hemisphere
cortical activity, primarily of the left frontal cortex, is associated with improved naming …

The loss and recovery of language functions are still incompletely understood. This
longitudinal functional MRI study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying language …

Although numerous published reports have demonstrated the beneficial effects of
transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) on task performance, fundamental questions …

Electrophysiological studies in humans and animals suggest that noninvasive
neurostimulation methods such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can elicit …

A recent study by our group revealed a strong relationship between functional brain
changes in the left hemisphere and anomia treatment outcome in chronic stroke patients (N …

Non-invasive brain stimulation has shown its potential to modulate brain plasticity in
humans. Endeavour has been made to utilize brain stimulation in neurological diseases to …

A distinguishing feature of Broca's aphasia is non-fluent halting speech typically involving
one to three words per utterance. Yet, despite such profound impairments, some patients …

The location and extent of brain changes that support recovery in chronic stroke is probably
related to the structural integrity of the remaining cortex. However, little is known about the …
