Anomia - Physiopathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Anomia'A language dysfunction characterized by the inability to name people and objects that are correctly perceived. The individual is able to describe the object in question, but cannot provide the name. This condition is associated with lesions of the dominant hemisphere involving the language areas, in particular the TEMPORAL LOBE. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p484) Common names: Anomia; Aphasia, Amnesic; Amnesic Aphasia; Nominal Dysphasia; Dysphasia, Nominal; Dysphasias, Nominal; Nominal Dysphasias; Aphasia, Nominal; Nominal Aphasia; Dysnomia; Dysnomias; Anomic Dysphasia; Anomic Dysphasias; Dysphasia, Anomic; Dysphasias, Anomic; Aphasia, Anomic; Anomic Aphasia |

Imaging short- and long-term training success in chronic aphasia.
20 Sep 2009 
BACKGROUND: To date, functional imaging studies of treatment-induced recovery from chronic aphasia only assessed short-term treatment effects after intensive language training. In the present study, we show with functional magnetic resonance imaging ... Read more...
Cortical mapping of naming errors in aphasia.
30 Jul 2009 Persons with aphasia vary greatly with regard to clinical profile; yet, they all share one common feature-anomia-an impairment in naming common objects. Previous research has demonstrated that particular naming errors are associated with specific ... Read more...
The representation of semantic knowledge in a child with Williams syndrome.
29 Apr 2009 This study investigated whether there are distinct types of semantic knowledge with distinct representational bases during development. The representation of semantic knowledge in a teenage child (S.T.) with Williams syndrome was explored for the ... Read more...
