Impairment of Neural Oscillatory Mechanisms of Speech Motor Planning in Aphasia

EasyChair Preprint 6341

Abstract

Aphasia is an acquired communication disability commonly resulting from post-stroke damage to the left-hemisphere brain networks. Depending on the size, location, and type of the stroke, individuals with aphasia exhibit a wide range of behavioral symptoms such as disorders in speech fluency, auditory comprehension, word-finding, and speech repetition. Recent investigations have provided evidence that such deficits in aphasia may result from damage to lower-level brain networks implicated in speech production and motor control mechanisms that are not directly influenced by language-related neural processes [1-3]. In the present study, we investigated the neural oscillatory correlates of speech impairment in individuals with post-stroke aphasia.
