“Neural Predictors of Agrammatic Performance in Aphasia”

Dirk-Bart den Ouden, Ph.D.
University of South Carolina

Like many discussions of aphasic performance and classification into
syndromes, ideas about the notion of ‘agrammatism’ have seen a cyclic
development, ranging from rejections of a consistent agrammatic performance
pattern to strong hypotheses of a central deficit in syntactic processing.
Whether or not agrammatic production and perhaps comprehension after brain
damage manifest themselves consistently in a particular group of patients is
also relevant to research on the neural underpinnings of syntactic processing.
In this talk, I will discuss a study into the neural predictors of agrammatic
performance in aphasia, based on voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) in
a group of 75 stroke survivors, with and without aphasia. A prerequisite to
such analyses is a discussion of the consistency (or lack thereof) of
agrammatic symptoms themselves, and this will be based on the Northwestern
Assessment of Verbs and Sentences (NAVS) as well as on detailed analyses of
picture descriptions.

C-Star Lecture Series

The Center for the Study of Aphasia Recovery (C-STAR;
http://cstar.sc.edu/lecture-series/) houses researchers who examine the
effects of behavioral treatment, brain stimulation, and residual brain
function (brain plasticity) on recovery from aphasia. C-STAR is a
collaboration between researchers from the University of South Carolina, the
Medical University of South Carolina, Johns Hopkins University, and the
University of California, Irvine. The Center is funded through the National
Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD) grant #NIH P50
DC014664. Biweekly public lectures, given by members and guests of C-STAR, are
accessible live and online. Recordings of the lectures can be viewed via
C-STAR YouTube channel:
