The neural mechanisms underlying recovery of language after left hemisphere stroke
remain elusive. Although older evidence suggested that right hemisphere language …

We present a critical review of the literature on melodic intonation therapy (MIT), one of the
most formalized treatments used by speech-language therapist in Broca's aphasia. We …

Several studies have already shown that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a
useful tool for enhancing recovery in aphasia. However, no reports to date have investigated …

Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) is a structured protocol for language rehabilitation in
people with Broca's aphasia. The main particularity of MIT is the use of intoned speech, a …

Aphasia results both from direct effects of focal damage to eloquent cortical areas as well as
dysfunction of interconnected remote areas within the language network. Resting-state …

Aphasia is a common consequence of left hemisphere stroke and causes a disabling loss of
language and communication ability. Current treatments for aphasia are inadequate, leaving …

While evidence suggests that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may facilitate
language recovery in chronic post-stroke aphasia, individual variability in patient response …

Transcranial direct current stimulation has been shown to increase the efficiency of
language therapy in chronic aphasia; however, to date, an optimal stimulation site has not …
