Summary

Phonological cueing training improved naming in two aphasia patients. This language therapy induced brain reorganization, showing potential for recovery even in chronic stages of aphasia.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Cognitive Rehabilitation
Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

Understanding neural changes after brain damage is crucial for effective rehabilitation.
Few studies investigate the impact of language training on brain plasticity in aphasia.

Observation:

Two patients with chronic phonological anomia received intensive picture-naming training.
Performance was assessed pre- and post-training using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Findings:

Improved naming correlated with altered brain activity patterns.
A patient with a smaller lesion showed left perilesional reactivation.
A patient with a larger lesion exhibited right frontal lobe activation.

Implications:

Phonological strategies can enhance naming abilities in chronic aphasia.
Language training can induce significant cerebral reorganization and neuroplasticity.
Rehabilitation approaches may be tailored based on lesion characteristics and resulting brain activation patterns.
