| Abstract: | New structural and functional imaging methods continue to be developed at a rapid pace. In the last 25 years, advanced imaging
techniques have provided insights into how language is represented and processed in the brain and how it can be disrupted
by damage to, or dysfunction of, various parts of the brain. Imaging studies have also yielded new information regarding how
individuals recover language after stroke. We briefly review the strengths and weaknesses of the various radiological methods
currently used to study language and aphasia. |
