Activity in preserved left hemisphere regions predicts anomia severity in aphasia.
Understanding the neural mechanism that supports preserved language processing in aphasia has implications for both basic and applied science. This study examined brain activation associated with correct picture naming in 15 patients with aphasia. We contrasted each patient's activation to the activation observed in a neurologically healthy control group, allowing us to identify regions with un...
متن کاملBabington's aphasia-overcoming left hemisphere trauma.
He was felled by the shell burst and briefly unconscious, and had sustained a left parietal penetrating injury which made him mute and hemiplegic. He was evacuated by stretcher, ambulance and plane. ‘During the flight I felt something stiff and cold on the right side of my chest. I puzzled about it for a while before it dawned on me that it was my right arm, heavy, insensate and quite paralysed...
متن کاملPhonologic Rehabilitation of Anomia in Aphasia
This study investigated the effects of an intensive phonologic treatment for anomia in aphasia. The theoretical motivation for this investigation was based on a parallel distributed processing model of phonology (Nadeau, 2001). We proposed that if treatment were directed at the level of the phonologic processor (e.g. phonemes and phoneme sequences), opportunities for naming via a phonological r...
متن کاملPhoneme-based rehabilitation of anomia in aphasia.
This study investigated the effects of phonologic treatment for anomia in aphasia. We proposed that if treatment were directed at the level of the phonologic processor, opportunities for naming via a phonological route, as opposed to a strictly whole word route, would be enhanced, thereby improving naming. The participants, ten people with anomia and aphasia due to left hemisphere stroke, recei...
متن کاملPreservation and modulation of specific left hemisphere regions is vital for treated recovery from anomia in stroke.
The location and extent of brain changes that support recovery in chronic stroke is probably related to the structural integrity of the remaining cortex. However, little is known about the specifics of this relationship and how it influences treatment outcome in chronic stroke. To examine this issue, the current study examined frank brain damage and changes in cortical activation as predictors ...
