Aphasia, the loss or impairment of language caused by brain damage, is one of the most
devastating cognitive impairments of stroke. Aphasia is present in 21–38% of acute stroke …

To evaluate the relative role of left and right hemispheres (RH) and describe the functional
anatomy of RH during ortholinguistic tasks, we re-analyzed the 128 papers of a former left …

The loss and recovery of language functions are still incompletely understood. This
longitudinal functional MRI study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying language …

Lesion and neuroimaging studies indicate that the insula mediates motor aspects of speech
production, specifically, articulatory control. Although it has direct connections to Broca's …

Verbal fluency tasks have been widely used to evaluate language and executive control
processes in the human brain. FMRI studies of verbal fluency, however, have used either …

Functional imaging studies with nonfluent aphasia patients have observed “over-activation”
in right (R) language homologues. This may represent a maladaptive strategy; suppression …

Using a modified sparse temporal sampling fMRI technique, we examined both shared and
distinct neural correlates of singing and speaking. In the experimental conditions, 10 right …

Abstract Introduction In PD, Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI) occurs since early stages of
disease. The aims were to assess presence of PD-MCI in untreated, drug-naive PD patients …

Language is considered to be one of the most lateralized human brain functions. Left
hemisphere dominance for language has been consistently confirmed in clinical and …

Animal analogue studies show that damaged adult brains reorganize to accommodate
compromised functions. In the human arena, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …
