“…Forced use of impaired limbs in animal and human models has been found to produced brain reorganization, reinforcing undamaged neuronal connections and inducing activation of neural pathways and silent areas which function was interrupted as consequence of the injury. These effects have encouraged different researchers to extend the constrained-induced movement therapy into the linguistic function, following the same logic for the treatment of chronic aphasia (see Cherney et al, 2008;Pulvermüller et al, 2016;for reviews). Therefore, it has been not until very recently that conventional therapy for aphasia has started to propose treatment approaches based on the neuroscientific evidence, and hence considering the patterns of brain dynamics that follow a stroke.…”

The Wernicke-Geschwind model has been considered the main reference in regard to the neural basis of language function. Indeed, this model has been systematically used to explain and interpret different aphasic disorders. However, recent findings across several neuroimaging studies challenge the suitability of this model to explain the cerebral dynamics observed after brain damage. This paper provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the most recent findings on language neuroscience. Thus, a consistent body of evidence obtained from the use of various techniques (including fMRi, EEG, MEG, TMS, tDCS, among others) strongly indicates the existence of a dynamic brain network involved in language function that recruits distant brain regions across both hemispheres, hence revealing the obsoleteness of traditional approaches for a complete understanding of language dysfunction. Despite these systematic and well-stablished findings, this and other language models are still considered nowadays in the educational and clinical practice, with detrimental implications for the successful characterization and rehabilitation of aphasic patients. Taking into account the dynamic reorganization of the language neural network, the use of modern brain neuro-modulatory techniques, together with the implementation of intense speech therapy, are discussed as the first option to be considered for the successful treatment of aphasia.
