Neurophysiological markers of language recovery in subacute stroke - An fMRI study

Recovery from post-stroke aphasia is highly variable1 and there is currently no effective method of predicting individual recovery of symptoms to guide rehabilitation. This project addresses the lack of knowledge regarding brain mechanisms responsible for aphasia recovery to provide much needed specificity in determining the best predictors of recovery for language symptoms commonly targeted in rehabilitation. Aim 1: Determine whether subacute...
