Independent contributions of language activations in left and right temporal cortex to aphasia outcomes after stroke.

ABSTRACT: Recovery from aphasia after stroke is thought to depend on functional reorganization of language processing in surviving brain regions. Many studies have investigated this process, but progress has been impeded by methodological limitations relating to task performance confounds, contrast validity, and sample sizes. Furthermore, few studies have accounted for the complex relationships that exist between patterns of structural damage, distributed networks of functional activity, and behavioral outcomes. The present cross-sectional study aimed to overcome these critical methodological limitations and to disentangle the relationships between structure, function, and behavior. We recruited 70 individuals with post-stroke aphasia and 45 neurologically normal comparison participants. We used a v
