Introduction Lesion-symptom mapping is a key tool in understanding the relationship
between brain structures and behavior. However, the behavioral consequences of lesions …

Poor performance on verbal fluency tasks is associated with an increased risk of post-stroke
cognitive impairment. Grey matter regions supporting verbal fluency have been identified via …

The functional organization and related anatomy of executive functions are still largely
unknown and were examined in the present study using a verbal fluency task. The objective …

Language production relies upon a predominantly left-hemisphere network of cortical and
subcortical brain regions. This chapter reviews evidence from neuroimaging and …

Deficits in fluent speech production following left hemisphere stroke are a central concern
because of their impact on patients' lives and the insight they provide about the neural …

Connectome-based lesion-symptom mapping relates behavioural impairments to disruption
of structural brain connectivity. Connectome-based lesion-symptom mapping can be based …

It is increasingly acknowledged that, often, patients with post-stroke aphasia not only have
language impairments but also deficits in other cognitive domains (eg executive functions) …

Objectives The few voxel-wise lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) studies aimed at identifying
the anatomy of executive function are limited by the absence of a model and by small …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) enables the investigation of white matter properties in vivo by
applying a tensor model to the diffusion of water molecules in the brain. Using DTI metrics …

Auditory sentence comprehension requires coordination of multiple levels of processing:
auditory-phonological perception, lexical-semantic comprehension, syntactic parsing and …
