标题：Large Scale Voxel-based Lesion-symptom Mapping on Subacute Stroke Patients Reveals the Critical Involvement of the Left Basal Ganglia in Phonological and Semantic Verbal Fluency
摘要：Verbal fluency (or word generation) tests consist in generating as many words as possible in a giventime interval without repetition and according to either a phonological (each word begins with agiven letter) or a semantic rule (each word belongs to a given semantic category). They allowneuropsychological assessment of language and executive functions in brain-damaged populationsand are considered to rely on left temporal and frontal structures. However their supporting brainmechanisms still remain unclear, and notably whether shared or distinct anatomo-functionalpathways support phonological and semantic fluency.
