Stroke victims tend to prioritize speaking, writing, and walking as the three most important
rehabilitation goals. Of note is that two of these goals involve communication. This …

When an individual is learning a new skill, recovering from a brain damage, or participating
in an intervention program, plastic changes take place in the brain. However, brain plasticity …

Stroke in the language dominant hemisphere is the most frequent cause of aphasia. In the
course of post-stroke aphasia different mechanisms can contribute to the recovery of …

Abstract Changes in ERP (P100 and N400) and root mean square (RMS) were obtained
during a silent reading task in 28 patients with chronic post-stroke aphasia in a randomized …

Background Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) record
two main types of data: continuous measurements at rest or during sleep, and event-related …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) can provide important insights into underlying language
processes in both unimpaired and neurologically impaired populations and may be …

Impaired word production after brain damage can be due to impairment at lexical–semantic
or at lexical–phonological levels of word encoding. These processes are thought to involve …

Our goal was to characterize the effects of intensive aphasia therapy on the N400, an
electrophysiological index of lexical-semantic processing. Immediately before and after …

Different forms of anomia are observed in aphasia, which can be related to impaired
semantic, lexical or phonological processes. In the present study, we analysed …

Recovery of stroke-related aphasia can be affected by language therapy in the early and
chronic stage. Objectively monitoring therapy-induced neuroplasticity is possible by several …
