Abstract:Emerging evidence suggests that post-stroke aphasia severity depends on the integrity of the brain beyond the stroke lesion. While measures of lesion anatomy and brain integrity combine synergistically to explain aphasic symptoms, significant interindividual variability remains unaccounted for. A possible explanatory factor may be the spatial distribution of brain atrophy beyond the lesion. This includes not just the specific brain areas showing atrophy, but also distinct three-dimensional patterns of atrophy.… Show more
