Summary
This study reports a rare case of selective anomia for proper names following a left thalamic infarct. This specific naming deficit may stem from indirect frontal lobe dysfunction impacting phonological activation.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Neurolinguistics
- Cognitive Psychology
Background:
- Category-specific naming and comprehension impairments are common in aphasia.
- Selective inability to generate proper names is a less frequent deficit.
- Previous reports of this specific anomia are rare, with only one case linked to a left thalamic lesion.
