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 …

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 …

There is substantial evidence that research studies reported in the scientific literature do not
provide adequate information so that readers know exactly what was done and what was …

Functional neuroimaging and related neuroimaging techniques are becoming important
tools for rehabilitation research. Functional neuroimaging techniques can be used to …

Purpose: Previous reports have suggested that noninvasive cortical stimulation could
influence speech production in patients with chronic stroke. Here, we evaluated the …

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 …

This review focuses on three main topics related to the nature of poststroke language
recovery and reorganization. The first topic pertains to the nature of anatomical and …

Neurostimulation techniques have been recently adopted in aphasia rehabilitation. In
several studies transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was used to enhance treatment …

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 …
