The most difficult clinical questions in stroke rehabilitation are “What is this patient's potential
for recovery?” and “What is the best rehabilitation strategy for this person, given her/his …

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 …

Spatial normalization reshapes an individual's brain to match the shape and size of a
template image. This is a crucial step required for group-level statistical analyses. The most …

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 …

Learn how the brain processes mathematical concepts and why some students develop
math anxiety! David A. Sousa discusses the cognitive mechanisms for learning mathematics …

Background Aphasia is an important stroke sequel that impacts negatively on the HQoL of
stroke patients. Although a number of stroke patients with aphasia will have good functional …

The loss and recovery of language functions are still incompletely understood. This
longitudinal functional MRI study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying language …

Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, the functional
reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in …

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

A distinguishing feature of Broca's aphasia is non-fluent halting speech typically involving
one to three words per utterance. Yet, despite such profound impairments, some patients …
