Purpose In this article, the authors encapsulate discussions of the Language Work Group
that took place as part of the Workshop in Plasticity/NeuroRehabilitation Research at the …

Brain-mapping techniques have proven to be vital in understanding the molecular, cellular,
and functional mechanisms of recovery after stroke. This article briefly summarizes the …

Brain imaging studies have explored the neural mechanisms of recovery in adults following
acquired disorders and, more recently, childhood developmental disorders. However, the …

Stroke in the language dominant hemisphere is the most frequent cause of aphasia. In the
course of post-stroke aphasia different mechanisms can contribute to the recovery of …

Central alexia is an acquired reading disorder co-occurring with a generalized language
deficit (aphasia). We tested the impact of a novel training app,'iReadMore', and anodal …

Background Despite extensive study, the neurophysiology of the brain's state (s)
corresponding to depression remains uncertain. Methods HMPAO single photon emission …

Background: The role of the right hemisphere (RH) in the recovery of language is quite
controversial. Aims: The aim of the present survey consisted in taking into account three …

Little is known about the neural reorganization that takes place subsequent to lesions that
affect orthographic processing (reading and/or spelling). We report on an fMRI investigation …

Background: Acquired alexia can result from impairment in either the direct (lexical) or
indirect (nonlexical) reading routes. The direct route involves visual word knowledge, is …

One of the greatest challenges to language rehabilitation is reconciling the fact that the
same therapeutic intervention, provided to different individuals with similar types of stroke …
