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 …

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 …

The estimated prevalence of aphasia in the UK and the USA is 250 000 and 1 000 000,
respectively. The commonest aetiology is stroke. The impairment may improve with …

In the last 25 years, characterization of aphasia has shifted from descriptions of the
language tasks that are impaired by brain damage to identification of the disrupted cognitive …

Purpose This systematic review summarizes evidence for intensity of treatment and
constraint-induced language therapy (CILT) on measures of language impairment and …

A recent study by our group revealed a strong relationship between functional brain
changes in the left hemisphere and anomia treatment outcome in chronic stroke patients (N …

The location and extent of brain changes that support recovery in chronic stroke is probably
related to the structural integrity of the remaining cortex. However, little is known about the …

Functional recovery in response to a brain lesion, such as a stroke, can even occur years
after the incident and may be accelerated by effective rehabilitation strategies. In eleven …

While the cognitive disturbances that frequently follow severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are
relatively well understood, the ways in which these affect the psychosocial functioning of …

Background: The research literature on treatment methods for word-finding deficits in
aphasia is extensive. A meta-analysis of studies for word-finding therapy was conducted in …
