Abstract Purpose of Review Thalamic aphasia is a rare language disorder resulting from
lesions to the thalamus. While most patients exhibit mild symptoms with a predominance of …

Unilateral spatial neglect is a disabling neurologic deficit, most frequent and severe after
right-hemispheric lesions. In most patients neglect involves the left side of space …

Background and Objectives Hemispatial neglect is a heterogeneous and complex disorder
that can be classified by frame of reference for “left” vs “right,” including viewer-centered …

Impaired expression of emotion through pitch, loudness, rate, and rhythm of speech
(affective prosody) is common and disabling after right hemisphere (RH) stroke. These …

Diaschisis is a phenomenon observed in stroke that is defined as neuronal dysfunction in
regions spared by the infarction but connected to the lesion site. We combined lesion …

Background Aphasia is a recognized presenting symptom of thalamic lesions. Little is known
regarding its frequency and phenotype. We examined the frequency of thalamic aphasia …

Objective To test the hypothesis that severity of leukoaraiosis in the noninfarcted
hemisphere at onset is associated with poorer language outcome after poststroke aphasia …

The presence of both isolated thalamic and isolated cortical lesions have been reported in
the context of pusher syndrome—a disorder characterized by a disturbed perception of one's …

Purpose: The neural mechanisms that support aphasia recovery are not yet fully understood.
Our goal was to evaluate longitudinal changes in naming recovery in participants with …

Background: Previous studies utilized lesion-centric approaches to study the role of the
thalamus in language. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that non-lesioned …
