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 …

Background: Since design and publication of the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB),
increasing use to assess patients with aphasia in a clinical and research setting in stroke …

Background: Brain research has documented that the cortical mechanisms for language and
action are tightly interwoven and, concurrently, new approaches to language therapy in …

In this forcefully argued book, the leading evolutionary theorist of language draws on
evidence from evolutionary biology, genetics, physical anthropology, anatomy, and …

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 …

As we age, our ability to select and to produce words changes, yet we know little about the
underlying neural substrate of word-finding difficulties in old adults. This study was designed …

The treatment of aphasias—acquired language disorders—caused by stroke and other
neurological conditions has benefitted from insights from neuroscience and …

Following brain injury or disease there are widespread biochemical, anatomical and
physiological changes that result in what might be considered a new, very different brain …

Animal analogue studies show that damaged adult brains reorganize to accommodate
compromised functions. In the human arena, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

Purpose In this article, the authors encapsulate discussions of the Language Work Group
