A right convergence area of the prefrontal lobe is involved in the improvement of semantic fluency in patients with post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSION: The improvement of semantic fluency in subacute PSA patients may require the participation of the right convergence area of the prefrontal lobe.PMID:37651207 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2253632

Turning the Spotlight to Cholinergic Pharmacotherapy of the Human Language System
AbstractEven though language is essential in human communication, research on pharmacological therapies for language deficits in highly prevalent neurodegenerative and vascular brain diseases has received little attention. Emerging scientific evidence suggests that disruption of the cholinergic system may play an essential role in language deficits associated with Alzheimer ’s disease and vascular cognitive impairment, including post-stroke aphasia. Therefore, current models of cognitive processing are beginning to appraise the implications of the brain modulator acetylcholine in human language functions. Future work sho...

Language reorganization patterns in global aphasia –evidence from fNIRS
ConclusionThe left SMG plays a critical role in the language function of patients with global aphasia, especially in their abilities to name and repeat. fNIRS is a promising approach to revealing the changes in brain activities in patients with aphasia, and we believe it will contribute to a deeper understanding of the neurological mechanisms and the establishment of a novel treatment approach for global aphasia.

Longitudinal changes in functional connectivity in speech motor networks in apraxia of speech after stroke
ConclusionEarly interhemispheric IFG connectivity may be a strong predictor of AOS recovery. The results support the importance of interhemispheric vPMC connection in speech motor planning and severity of AOS and suggest that also bilateral aINS connectivity may have an impact on AOS severity. These findings need to be validated in larger cohorts.

Association between volume of patients undergoing stroke rehabilitation at acute care hospitals and improvement in activities of daily living
Stroke is one of the most common causes of functional disability, and rehabilitation plays a vital role in treating acute stroke.1,2 In recent years, it has been reported that early rehabilitation and the amount of rehabilitation intervention, including treatment at a stroke care unit (SCU), contribute to the improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) in acute stroke rehabilitation.3,4 Stroke rehabilitation requires multi-disciplinary intervention, including physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy, and it is believed that the quality of rehabilitation depends on the level of rehabilitation expertise of healthca...
