“The Anatomy of Aphasia Revisited”
Julius Fridriksson, Ph.D.
University of South Carolina

The Wernicke-Lichtheim model has been in existence for over a century, and
classification of aphasic symptomatology continues to rely on it. However, far
more detailed models of speech and language localization in the brain have
been formulated. In this regard, the dual stream model of cortical brain
organization proposed by Hickok and Poeppel  is particularly influential.
Their model describes two processing routes, a dorsal stream and a ventral
stream, that roughly support speech production and speech comprehension,
respectively, in normal subjects. Despite the strong influence of the dual
stream model in current neuropsychological research, there has been relatively
limited focus on explaining aphasic symptoms in the context of this model.
Given that the dual stream model represents a more nuanced picture of cortical
speech and language organization, cortical damage that causes aphasic
impairment should map clearly onto the dual processing streams. I will present
a follow-up study to our previous work that used lesion data to reveal the
anatomical boundaries of the dorsal and ventral streams supporting speech and
language processing. Specifically, by emphasizing clinical measures, we
examine the effect of cortical damage and disconnection involving the dorsal
and ventral streams on aphasic impairment. The results reveal that measures of
motor speech impairment almost exclusively involve damage to the dorsal
stream, whereas measures of impaired speech comprehension are strongly
associated with ventral stream involvement.

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:
