Neuroimaging investigations of recovery from sentence processing
deficits in aphasia

Elena Barbieri,  PhD
Northwestern University


Sentence production and comprehension deficits are a hallmark of
agrammatic aphasia, an acquired language disorder that most often
occurs following a stroke affecting the left hemisphere, and of the
agrammatic subtype of Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA-G), a
neurodegenerative disease in which neuronal loss (atrophy) affects
primarily the language-dominant left hemisphere. In this talk, I will
present the results of a few studies investigating the behavioral and
neuroimaging effects of language interventions directed to sentence
processing deficits in agrammatic aphasia due to stroke and in PPA-G,
highlight the potential of right hemisphere homologues of language
regions for supporting recovery, and discuss some of the factors
underlying variability in treatment-induced changes in functional
activation. The implications of such findings on the selection of
targets for combined behavioral-neuromodulatory interventions also
will be discussed, together with preliminary findings from studies
using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
