Beyond Broca and Wernicke: Epilepsy surgery in the language areas
Abstract Epilepsy surgery in language areas is challenged by the intricacies of presurgical workup and surgical planning. In recent decades, the view of language‐related circuitry has shifted from being localized in a few cortical centers to a distributed, dynamically interconnected system, increasing complexity.

Concept Cells and the Neural Bases of Human Memory
ABSTRACT Single‐neuron recordings from the medial temporal lobe of patients undergoing epilepsy surgery have revealed “concept cells” that respond selectively and invariantly to meaningful stimuli such as specific people, places, or objects. These responses offer a unique window into how individual neurons encode high‐level, multimodal representations ...

The Time-course of Lexical Reactivation of Unaccusative Verbs in Broca’s Aphasia
Individuals with Broca’s aphasia typically have difficulty understanding sentences containing syntactic dependencies (e.g., Wh-questions, as in “Which mailman did the policeman push___ yesterday afternoon”).

A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

The Influence of Aphasia Type and Severity on Sentence Comprehension after Left Hemisphere Stroke
ABSTRACT Background Sentence comprehension relies on the integrity of a left‐lateralized language network that is frequently disrupted following left hemisphere stroke. While comprehension deficits are well documented in Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia, less is known about how sentence comprehension varies across the broader aphasia spectrum, including ...

Spared syntax and impaired spell-out: the case of prepositions in Broca's and anomic aphasia [PDF]
The present study deals with the impairment of prepositions, a somewhat neglected topic in aphasia research. It is the first to investigate the availability of all types of prepositions (i.e., spatial, temporal, other meaningful, subcategorized ...

A dynamic network approach to language in aphasia: individual differences in spoken and non-verbal communication [PDF]
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder that can affect comprehension and production. While traditionally categorized into subtypes such as Broca’s, Wernicke’s, and anomic aphasia, many individuals exhibit features from multiple types, challenging rigid
