Language networks in aphasia recovery and after rehabilitation
Swathi Kiran, PhD, CCC-SLP
Boston University

The nature of language recovery in aphasia remains unresolved despite several
advances in our conceptual thinking, the methodology, and data analysis
approaches. There is still a debate about whether successful language recovery
is associated with the engagement of residual regions in the damaged left
hemisphere, the undamaged right hemisphere or a combination of the two. In
this talk, I will propose that language recovery is more nuanced than these
broad categories and depends on bilateral (left and right) hemisphere language
regions as well as domain general regions. To this end, I will present results
from our lab that have examined the engagement of a network of regions during
language processing as well as after rehabilitation. These approaches include
examining structural connectivity, functional connectivity and effective
connectivity of regions in both hemisphere that provide more clues to the
dynamic and complex nature of language recovery.

This lecture will be held at the University of South Carolina:
Room #140, Discovery I, 915 Greene Street, Columbia, SC 29208
