DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2018.2287
Abstract: Importance Aphasia is a debilitating language disorder for which behavioral speech therapy is the most efficient treatment, but therapy outcomes are variable and full recovery is not always achieved. It remains unclear if adjunctive brain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.24983
Abstract: Restrengthening of the residual language network is likely to be crucial for speech recovery in poststroke aphasia. Eight participants with chronic aphasia received intensive speech therapy for 3 weeks, with standardized naming tests and brain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-017-3209-x
Abstract: In between Carl Wernicke’s locationist aphasia concept from 1874 and Norman Geschwind’s new connectionist model of human brain functions in 1965, little notice was taken of the historical debate on aphasia and brain plasticity. Interestingly,… read more here.

Prognostic factors for long-term improvement from stroke-related aphasia with adequate linguistic rehabilitation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Neurological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s10072-019-03956-7
Abstract: In the past decade, several studies have reported potential prognostic factors for aphasia after stroke. However, these reports covered no more than 1 year after stroke onset, even though patients often continue to improve over longer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2016.10.176
Abstract: Introduction For several years non invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques like rTMS and tDCS were used in combination with speech and language therapy. There is evidence that both techniques are able to enhance behavioral treatment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.673
Abstract: Objective Repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rnTMS) and direct cortical stimulation (DCS) during awake surgery are complementary tools to locate speech functional areas of the brain. However, patients show inter-individual differences in their preoperative linguistic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2017.04.020
Abstract: Human learners can resolve referential ambiguity and discover the relationships between words and meanings through a cross-situational learning (CSL) strategy. Some people with aphasia (PWA) can learn word-referent pairings under referential uncertainty supported by online… read more here.
