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 …

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

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

Meaningful speech, as exemplified in object naming, calls on knowledge of the mappings
between word meanings and phonological forms. Phonological errors in naming (eg …

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 …

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 …

Understanding the neural mechanism that supports preserved language processing in
aphasia has implications for both basic and applied science. This study examined brain …

Purpose Despite a tremendous amount of research in this topic, the precise neural
mechanisms underlying language recovery remain unclear. Much of the evidence suggests …

Research on the neural substrate of aphasia recovery has consistently increased since the
advent of functional neuroimaging. The evidence from therapy-induced aphasia recovery …

Background and Purpose—Early poststroke aphasia rehabilitation effects and their
functional MRI (fMRI) correlates were investigated in a pilot, controlled longitudinal study …
