摘要：Recent functional neuroimaging studies in bi- and multi-lingualism converge on the observationthat the same core set of brain regions subserve all languages, irrespective of proficiency (Sebastian,Laird, & Kiran, 2011) but that language proficiency is a critical variable. The nature of languagenetworks in individuals with bilingual aphasia has been less studied (Abutalebi, et al.,2009;Sebastian, Sandberg, & Kiran, 2012) but has high potential for clinical impact. In this study, usingfMRI and DCM, we examine language networks in normal Spanish-English bilinguals and inindividuals with bilingual aphasia.
