摘要：Both hemispheres appear to be engaged in word production of healthy participants (Abel et al., 2011) andrecovery of word production deficits (Crosson et al., 2007). However, the interplay of factors influencing aphasiarecovery and associated patterns of brain reorganization still remains unresolved (Crinion & Leff, 2007).We applied intensive lexical training, which was evaluated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),to 15 patients with aphasic word retrieval deficits. We aimed to illuminate brain reorganization of (i) recovered wordproduction before training, (ii) recovery due to training, and (iii) activations in comparison to healthy controls.
