Time course of evoked-potential changes in different forms of anomia in aphasia.

30 Jul 2009 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 different brain regions and to have different time courses. The ... Read more...

Lesion characteristics related to treatment improvement in object and action naming for patients with chronic aphasia.

19 Jul 2009 Few studies have examined the relationship between degree of lesion in various locations and improvement during treatment in stroke patients with chronic aphasia. The main purpose of this study was to determine whether the degree of lesion in ... Read more...

Agrammatic comprehension caused by a glioma in the left frontal cortex.

30 Jun 2009 It has been known that lesions in the left inferior frontal gyrus (L. IFG) do not always cause Broca's aphasia, casting doubt upon the specificity of this region. We have previously devised a picture-sentence matching task for a functional magnetic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Aphasia'

Definition: A cognitive disorder marked by an impaired ability to comprehend or express language in its written or spoken form. This condition is caused by diseases which affect the language areas of the dominant hemisphere. Clinical features are used to classify the various subtypes of this condition. General categories include receptive, expressive, and mixed forms of aphasia.
