Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to the right Broca mirror area for improving auditory comprehension in a  sensory aphasia after stroke: a case report
This study reported one stroke patient with sensory aphasia who received 6 treatment sessions of low-frequency rTMS before speech and language therapy. The target area was the Broca mirror area in the right hemisphere. After treatment, the auditory comprehension of the patient improved from 46 to 112, the naming improved from 18 to 32, and the AQ improved from 34.2 to 42.6. However, the level of functional language, spontaneous speech and repetition did not show obvious improvement.PMID:35950478 | DOI:10.5114/fn.2022.118188

Semantic network activation facilitates oral word reading in chronic aphasia
Brain Lang. 2022 Aug 4;233:105164. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2022.105164. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople with aphasia often show partial impairments on a given task. This trial-to-trial variability offers a potential window into understanding how damaged language networks function. We test the hypothesis that successful word reading in participants with phonological system damage reflects semantic system recruitment. Residual semantic and phonological networks were defined with fMRI in 21 stroke participants with phonological damage using semantic- and rhyme-matching tasks. Participants performed an oral word reading task...
