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-third of stroke survivors experience deficits in word retrieval as a core characteristic of
their aphasia, which is frustrating, socially limiting and disabling for their professional and …

Background and Objectives. A tight link between linguistic functions and activation of motor
areas has been consistently reported, indicating that the 2 systems share functional neural …

A major objective in post-stroke aphasia research is to gain a deeper understanding of
neuroplastic mechanisms that drive language recovery, with the ultimate goal of enhancing …

Recent evidence of domain-specific working memory (WM) systems has identified the areas
and networks which are involved in phonological, orthographic, and semantic WM, as well …

It is debated how language and praxis are co-represented in the left hemisphere (LH). As
voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping in LH stroke patients with aphasia and/or apraxia …

People with aphasia use gestures not only to communicate relevant content but also to
compensate for their verbal limitations. The Sketch Model (De Ruiter, 2000) assumes a …

Background: The study of generalisation is integral to both demonstrating and maximising
therapy effectiveness. With aphasia therapy aiming to promote change in everyday …

Word retrieval deficits are a common problem in patients with stroke-induced brain damage.
While complete recovery of language in chronic aphasia is rare, patients' naming ability can …

The focus of much investigation in aphasiology has been on assessment of spared vs.
impaired performance, with relatively less investigation of spared vs. impaired (re) learning …
