Following a stroke, the resulting lesion creates contralateral motor impairment and an
interhemispheric imbalance involving hyperexcitability of the contralesional hemisphere …

Introduction: Aphasia is a debilitating language disorder and even mild forms of aphasia can
negatively affect functional outcomes, mood, quality of life, social participation, and the …

Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, the functional
reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in …

A major objective in post-stroke aphasia research is to gain a deeper understanding of
neuroplastic mechanisms that drive language recovery, with the ultimate goal of enhancing …

Given the profound impact of language impairment after stroke (aphasia), neuroplasticity
research is garnering considerable attention as means for eventually improving aphasia …

Understanding which cellular compartments are influenced during neuromodulation
underpins any rational effort to explain and optimize outcomes. Axon terminals have long …

Objective This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation (rTMS) in treating post-stroke aphasia with a goal to identify parameters that are …

Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive tool that
induces neuromodulation in the brain. Several studies have shown that rTMS improves …

Background: Aphasia is a debilitating language impairment, affecting millions of people
worldwide. About 40% of stroke survivors develop chronic aphasia, resulting in life-long …

Background. In an effort to boost aphasia recovery, modern rehabilitation, in addition to
speech and language therapy (SALT), is increasingly incorporating noninvasive methods of …
