Examining cortical tracking of the speech envelope in post-stroke aphasia
ConclusionCTenv of the syllable-level properties was relatively preserved in individuals with less language impairment. In contrast, higher encoding of word- and phrase-level properties was relatively impaired and was predictive of more severe language impairments. CTenv and treatment response to sentence-level rhythm-based interventions need to be further investigated.

Case report: the effects of cerebellar tDCS in bilingual post-stroke aphasia
We present the effects of 9 sessions of anodal cerebellar tDCS (ctDCS) coupled with language therapy in a bilingual patient with chronic post-stroke aphasia caused by left frontal ischemia, in a double-blind, sham-controlled within-subject design. Language therapy was provided in his second language (L2). Both sham and anodal treatment improved trained picture naming in the treated language (L2), while anodal ctDCS in addition improved picture naming of untrained items in L2 and his first language, L1. Picture description improved in L2 and L1 after anodal ctDCS, but not after sham.

Supporting Post-Stroke Language and Cognition with Pharmacotherapy: Tools for Each Phase of Care
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThere is enormous enthusiasm for the possibility of pharmacotherapies to treat language deficits that can arise after stroke. Speech language therapy remains the most frequently utilized and most strongly evidenced treatment, but the numerous barriers to patients receiving the therapy necessary to recover have motivated the creation of a relatively modest, yet highly cited, body of evidence to support the use of pharmacotherapy to treat post-stroke aphasia directly or to augment traditional post-stroke aphasia treatment. In this review, we survey the use of pharmacotherapy to preserve and support l...

Research hotspots and frontiers of post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation: a bibliometric study and visualization analysis
Conclusions: By using bibliometrics, we provided a comprehensive review of studies related to poststroke aphasia rehabilitation. Future research hotspots on topics related to poststroke aphasia rehabilitation will mainly focus on the plasticity mechanisms of neurolinguistic networks, language function assessment, language rehabilitation modalities, and patients' rehabilitation needs and participation experiences in poststroke aphasia. This paper provides systematic information that is worth exploring in the future.

The right uncinate fasciculus supports verbal short-term memory in aphasia
Brain Struct Funct. 2023 Apr 2. doi: 10.1007/s00429-023-02628-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVerbal short-term memory (STM) deficits are associated with language processing impairments in people with aphasia. Importantly, the integrity of STM can predict word learning ability and anomia therapy gains in aphasia. While the recruitment of perilesional and contralesional homologous brain regions has been proposed as a possible mechanism for aphasia recovery, little is known about the white-matter pathways that support verbal STM in post-stroke aphasia. Here, we investigated the relationships between the language-related whi...

Electrophysiological Changes in Patients with Post-stroke Aphasia: A Systematic Review
Discussion Compared with continuous EEG, ERP/EMF may more reliably identify biomarkers of therapy-induced effects. Electrophysiology should be used more often to explore language processes that are impaired after a stroke, as it may highlight treatment challenges for patients with post-stroke aphasia.PMID:36749552 | DOI:10.1007/s10548-023-00941-4
