This study was designed to identify the neural network supporting the semantic processing
of visual words in a patient with large-scale damage to left-hemisphere (LH) language …

Verbal stimuli often induce right‐hemispheric activation in patients with aphasia after left‐
hemispheric stroke. This right‐hemispheric activation is commonly attributed to functional …

Background: Some neuroimaging studies have suggested that specific right hemispheric
regions can compensate deficits induced by left hemispheric lesions in vascular aphasia. In …

One important issue concerning the recovery of higher cognitive functions—such as word
comprehension in aphasia—is to what extent impairments can be compensated for by intact …

Background: The right cerebral hemisphere (RH) sustains activation of subordinate,
secondary, less common, and/or distantly related meanings of words. Much of the pertinent …

Objective: To delineate regions involved in visual word recognition. Background: The
processes and regions involved in visual word recognition have been somewhat …

The most selective disorder of central conceptual knowledge arises in semantic dementia, a
degenerative condition associated with bilateral atrophy of the inferior and polar regions of …

Recovery from aphasia, loss of language following a cerebrovascular incident (stroke), is a
complex process involving both left and right hemispheric regions. In our study, we analyzed …

We examined the role of the right cerebral hemisphere in the recovery from aphasia of HJ, a
50-year-old right-handed and unilingual man who suffered from severe aphasia caused by …

Although language function is overwhelmingly left lateralized, significant recovery from
aphasia is possible even after the left language territory is extensively damaged Some of …
