Researchers have sought to understand how language is processed in the brain, how brain
damage affects language abilities, and what can be expected during the recovery period …

Abstract Language impairment, or aphasia, is a disabling symptom that affects at least one
third of individuals after stroke. Some affected individuals will spontaneously recover partial …

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 …

Aphasia recovery post-stroke is classically and most commonly hypothesised to rely on
regions that were not involved in language premorbidly, through 'neurocomputational …

Objective: To examine effects of four different transcranial, red/near-infrared (NIR), light-
emitting diode (tLED) protocols on naming ability in persons with aphasia (PWA) due to left …

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

Purpose Understanding the brain basis of language and cognitive outcomes is a major goal
of aphasia research. Prior studies have not often considered the many ways that brain …

The language system is perhaps the most unique feature of the human brain's cognitive
architecture. It has long been a quest of cognitive neuroscience to understand the neural …

Studies investigating the effects of language intervention on the re-organization of language
networks in chronic aphasia have resulted in mixed findings, likely related to—among other …

Chronic aphasia, a devastating impairment of language, affects up to a third of stroke
survivors. Speech and language therapy has consistently been shown to improve language …
