      <i>Background</i>: The localization and organization of language has been an ongoing research interest ever since the early findings of Paul Broca. The emergence of neuroimaging the past 20 years has given us new insights on the anatomical and structural organization of the brain. Lesion studies on patients with aphasia can provide knowledge on where and how specific language functions are organized ...

      Background - The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations stroke severity, aphasia severity, lesion location and lesion size in acute stroke, and aphasia severity in the subacute and chronic stages post stroke. We hypothesized that initial stroke severity and aphasia severity were associated with the patient’s aphasia severity in the subacute and chronic stages of stroke. We ...
