Neuroimaging in aphasia treatment research: Issues of experimental design for relating cognitive to neural changes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of functional neuroimaging studies investigating the neural changes that support treatment-based recovery of targeted language functions in acquired aphasia faces a number of challenges. In this paper, we discuss these challenges and focus on experimental tasks and experimental designs that can be used to address the challenges, facilitate the interpretation of results and promote integration of findings across studies.

Neuroimaging in aphasia treatment research: Standards for establishing the effects of treatment
The goal of this paper is to discuss experimental design options available for establishing the effects of treatment in studies that aim to examine the neural mechanisms associated with treatment-induced language recovery in aphasia, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We present both group and single-subject experimental or case-series design options for doing this and address ...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity in the language system: Reorganization in post-stroke aphasia and in neuromodulation interventions.
Owing to its critical role in human cognition, the neural basis of language has occupied the interest of neurologists, psychologists, and cognitive neuroscientists for over 150 years. The language system was initially conceptualized as a left hemisphere circuit with discrete comprehension and production centers. Since then, advances in neuroscience have allowed a much more complex and nuanced u...
متن کاملComparative Effectiveness of Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) and Phonological Components Analysis (PCA) for Anomia Treatment in Persian Speaking Patients With Aphasia
Objectives: Anomia is one of the most common and persistent symptoms of aphasia. Although treatments of anomia usually focus on semantic and/or phonological levels, which both have been demonstrated to be effective, the relationship between the underlying functional deficit in naming and response to a particular treatment approach remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the rela...
متن کاملNeuroimaging in aphasia treatment research: Consensus and practical guidelines for data analysis
Functional magnetic resonance imaging is the most widely used imaging technique to study treatment-induced recovery in post-stroke aphasia. The longitudinal design of such studies adds to the challenges researchers face when studying patient populations with brain damage in cross-sectional settings. The present review focuses on issues specifically relevant to neuroimaging data analysis in apha...
متن کاملAphasia I: Clinical and Anatomic Issues
The clinical study of aphasia began in 1861 with the observations of Paul Broca. Within 40 or 50 years, all of the basic clinical phenomena reviewed here had been described and many of the major flashpoints of clinical and theoretical disagreement had been identified. In the past 20 years, fresh interest has come to clinical aphasia research from two directions: modern neuroimaging and cognitiv...
