Audiovisual Integration of Speech in a Patient with Broca’s Aphasia [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Lesions to Broca’s area cause aphasia characterised by a severe impairment of the ability to speak, with comparatively intact speech perception. However, some studies have found effects on speech perception under adverse listening conditions, indicating ...

Quality of communication life in individuals with Broca's aphasia and normal individuals: A comparative study [PDF]
Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2018 Background: Aphasia is a neurogenic communication disorder with significant deficits in various domains of language and communication. One such type of aphasia, which impacts the quality of life significantly is Broca's aphasia, where the individual is ...

Exploring the efficacy of melodic intonation therapy with Broca’s aphasia in Arabic [PDF]
South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 2018 Background: Even though the efficacy of melodic intonation therapy (MIT) with persons with aphasia (PWA) has been explored in different languages, the efficacy of MIT with Arabic-speaking PWA has never been explored.

Severe Broca’s Aphasia without Broca’s Area Damage [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 2007 Although sub-cortical aphasia is a common neurological disorder, its neural basis is not clear. Recent evidence suggests that hypoperfusion of the cortical language areas may be the primary culprit [1,2]. That is, the subcortical lesion – often including the left striatocapsular region – is associated with decreased cerebral blood flow in the cortex ...

Broca’s biases in modern aphasiology [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceBroca’s description of aphemia signals the emergence of aphasiology as a discipline. It also marks the beginning of a long tradition of studies of right-handed patients (“Nous parlons avec l’hémisphère gauche”) with lesions in the inferior frontal gyrus (

Transformation of Broca’s Aphasia into Conduction Aphasia: A Case Report [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 1992 We describe a patient with a cerebral infarction localized mainly in the left posterior frontal and anterior parietal subcortices who experienced a Broca's aphasia which evolved into a conduction aphasia.

Language network functional connectivity varies by aphasia type and severity [PDF]
NeuroImage: ClinicalAphasia is increasingly understood as a disorder of disrupted language networks rather than damage to isolated language regions. However, most resting-state functional connectivity studies treat people with aphasia as a single group or classify ...

Content-function word production in Mandarin-speaking Broca’s aphasia: a generative approach [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceIntroductionBroca’s aphasia is a non-fluent language disorder typically associated with reduced grammatical encoding and relatively preserved lexical meaning. While content-function asymmetries have been extensively documented for Indo-European languages,

Evidence of cortical reorganization of language networks after stroke with subacute Broca's aphasia: a blood oxygenation level dependent-functional magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]
Neural Regeneration Research, 2017 Aphasia is an acquired language disorder that is a common consequence of stroke. The pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood, and as a result, current treatment options are not satisfactory.
